About the time in Medan
The zone identifier Asia/Jakarta is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Asia/Jakarta keeps pointing at Jakarta time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Sunrise today lands at 06:22 and sunset at 06:35 local time, giving 12h 13m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (3.58, 98.67) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Medan.
Clocks in Medan stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC +7 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Indonesia.
