About the time in College Station
The zone identifier America/Chicago is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Chicago keeps pointing at Chicago time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Sunrise today lands at 06:57 and sunset at 07:57 local time, giving 12h 59m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (30.59, -96.30) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in College Station.
College Station is on daylight saving time at the moment, which is why the offset reads UTC −5 instead of its winter value. Clocks go back on 1 November 2026, and anything scheduled across that date shifts by an hour.
