About the time in Montreal
Montreal 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.
Montreal runs on America/Chicago, 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 06:11 and sunset at 07:56 local time, giving 13h 45m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (46.43, -90.24) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Montreal.
