About the time in Jerusalem
Around 217 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 runs on America/Jamaica, which puts the city UTC −5 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.
Jerusalem sits at latitude 18.32, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 39m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
