About the time in Switzerland
The zone identifier Europe/Zurich is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Europe/Zurich keeps pointing at Zurich time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Sunrise today lands at 06:32 and sunset at 08:30 local time, giving 13h 57m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (47.00, 8.01) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Switzerland.
Switzerland sits at latitude 47.00, in the temperate-north band, so day length here swings sharply between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 57m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
