How Pittsburgh Keeps Time

Pittsburgh keeps EDT, UTC-4. The live clock normally synchronizes to the site time source and then applies the IANA rules for Pittsburgh; until synchronization succeeds, it uses the device clock as a fallback. Daylight-saving changes are applied only where that zone actually observes them.

Pittsburgh runs on the America/New_York zone in the IANA time zone database, which is UTC-4 right now. The clocks change twice a year here: UTC-5 on standard time and UTC-4 while daylight saving is in force. The next change is on 1 November 2026, when clocks go back one hour.

The sun rises in Pittsburgh at 7:40 am today and sets at 6:27 pm — 10 hours 47 minutes of daylight, with solar noon at 1:04 pm. Those times come from the city’s coordinates (40.44, -80.00), so they shift a little every day of the year.

On the two solstices, Pittsburgh has about 15 hours 4 minutes of daylight in June and 9 hours 17 minutes in December. The difference is about 5 hours 47 minutes, which shows how strongly the local daylight cycle changes through the year.

At the current civil offset, Pittsburgh’s longitude corresponds to a difference of about 1 hour 20 minutes between zone time and longitude-based mean solar time. Today’s calculated solar noon is 1:04 pm rather than 12:00 on the clock.

EDT is one of several zones in United States, so a time quoted for the country as a whole is not necessarily the time here. Check the city rather than the country when it matters.
