About the time in Richmond
Richmond sits at latitude 37.72, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 21m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Richmond 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.
Richmond is on daylight saving time at the moment, which is why the offset reads UTC −4 instead of its winter value. Clocks go back on 1 November 2026, and anything scheduled across that date shifts by an hour.
