About the time in Meta
The zone identifier America/Chicago is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Chicago keeps pointing at Chicago time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Meta is on daylight saving time at the moment, which is why the offset reads UTC −5 instead of its winter value. Clocks go back on 1 November 2026, and anything scheduled across that date shifts by an hour.
Meta sits at latitude 38.31, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 24m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
