About the time in Dublin
Sunrise today lands at 07:03 and sunset at 08:09 local time, giving 13h 06m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (32.09, -98.34) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Dublin.
Around 3,654 people live in Dublin, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
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.
