About the time in Denver
Sunrise today lands at 06:24 and sunset at 07:59 local time, giving 13h 35m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (42.67, -92.33) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Denver.
Around 1,780 people live in Denver, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Denver 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.
