About the time in Chester

Sunrise today lands at 06:14 and sunset at 07:49 local time, giving 13h 34m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (40.78, -74.70) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Chester.
Chester is on daylight saving time at the moment, which is why the offset reads UTC −4 instead of its winter value. Clocks go back on 1 November 2026, and anything scheduled across that date shifts by an hour.
