About the time in Dover
Sunrise today lands at 05:50 and sunset at 06:29 local time, giving 12h 39m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (18.26, -76.71) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Dover.
Dover runs on America/Jamaica, which puts the city UTC −5 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
Clocks in Dover stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC −5 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Jamaica.
