About the time in Hamilton
Sunrise today lands at 06:35 and sunset at 08:09 local time, giving 13h 34m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (43.25, -79.96) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Hamilton.
Hamilton follows the civil time used across its region of Canada; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.

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.
