About the time in Jerusalem
Jerusalem runs on Asia/Jerusalem, which puts the city UTC +3 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.
Around 1,159,900 people live in Jerusalem, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Jerusalem sits at latitude 31.75, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 10m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
