Around 145,018 people live in Spanish Town, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Clocks in Spanish Town stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC −5 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Jamaica.
