About the time in Gaithersburg
Gaithersburg runs on America/New_York, which puts the city UTC −4 from Coordinated Universal Time right now.

Around 59,933 people live in Gaithersburg, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Gaithersburg is on daylight saving time at the moment, which is why the offset reads UTC −4 instead of its winter value. Clocks go back on 1 November 2026, and anything scheduled across that date shifts by an hour.
