About the time in Montevideo
Clocks in Montevideo stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC −5 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Peru.
Montevideo runs on America/Lima, which puts the city UTC −5 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.
Sunrise today lands at 06:15 and sunset at 06:11 local time, giving 11h 56m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-6.63, -77.72) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Montevideo.
