About the time in Kensington
Around 819 people live in Kensington, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Kensington sits at latitude 18.07, 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.
The zone identifier America/Jamaica is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Jamaica keeps pointing at Jamaica time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
