About the time in York Town
Sunrise today lands at 05:53 and sunset at 06:30 local time, giving 12h 37m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (17.93, -77.30) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in York Town.
York Town runs on America/Jamaica, which puts the city UTC −5 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.
York Town sits at latitude 17.93, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 37m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
