About the time in Monticello
Around 5,548 people live in Monticello, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Monticello sits at latitude 40.03, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 25m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Monticello 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.
