About the time in Lima
The zone identifier America/New_York is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/New_York keeps pointing at New York time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Sunrise today lands at 06:52 and sunset at 08:26 local time, giving 13h 34m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (40.74, -84.11) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Lima.
Lima is on daylight saving time at the moment, which is why the offset reads UTC −4 instead of its winter value. Clocks go back on 1 November 2026, and anything scheduled across that date shifts by an hour.
