About the time in Roanoke
The zone identifier America/Chicago is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Chicago keeps pointing at Chicago time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Sunrise today lands at 06:09 and sunset at 07:18 local time, giving 13h 09m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (33.15, -85.37) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Roanoke.
Roanoke 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.
