About the time in New York
Around 8,175,133 people live in New York, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Sunrise today lands at 06:12 and sunset at 07:46 local time, giving 13h 34m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (40.66, -73.94) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in New York.
New York runs on America/New_York, which puts the city UTC −4 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.
