About the time in Richmond
Around 7,850 people live in Richmond, 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 05:51 and sunset at 06:28 local time, giving 12h 37m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (18.21, -76.88) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Richmond.
The zone identifier America/Jamaica is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Jamaica keeps pointing at Jamaica time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
