About the time in Dayton
The zone identifier America/Denver is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Denver keeps pointing at Denver time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Sunrise today lands at 06:43 and sunset at 08:36 local time, giving 13h 53m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (47.87, -114.28) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Dayton.
Dayton is on daylight saving time at the moment, which is why the offset reads UTC −6 instead of its winter value. Clocks go back on 1 November 2026, and anything scheduled across that date shifts by an hour.
