About the time in Dunedin
The zone identifier Pacific/Auckland is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Pacific/Auckland keeps pointing at Auckland time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Sunrise today lands at 07:26 and sunset at 05:55 local time, giving 10h 29m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-45.87, 170.50) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Dunedin.
Around 132,800 people live in Dunedin, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
