About the time in Latvia
The zone identifier Europe/Riga is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Europe/Riga keeps pointing at Riga time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Sunrise today lands at 05:59 and sunset at 08:47 local time, giving 14h 49m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (57.00, 25.00) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Latvia.
Latvia runs on Europe/Riga, 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.
