About the time in Richmond
Sunrise today lands at 06:01 and sunset at 07:42 local time, giving 13h 41m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (42.75, -72.27) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Richmond.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Richmond day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 13:00–21:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
The zone identifier America/New_York is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/New_York keeps pointing at New York time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
