About the time in Salem
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.
Sunrise today lands at 06:21 and sunset at 07:47 local time, giving 13h 26m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (39.57, -75.47) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Salem.
Salem 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.
