About the time in Salem
Salem 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.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Salem 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.
Salem sits at latitude 33.96, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 13m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
