About the time in Tampa
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 07:04 and sunset at 08:00 local time, giving 12h 55m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (27.97, -82.48) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Tampa.
Tampa 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.
