Did you know?
The other side of the world
The point directly opposite Jamaica on Earth is in the Indian Ocean. Based on its longitude, the local solar time there is now . At that point it is currently night. That point is exactly on the other side of the Earth: 18.2° S, 102.8° E.
On the open sea there is not always an official local time zone. We therefore use local solar time based on longitude.
Daylight
Today is about 2 minutes shorter than yesterday in Jamaica. In one week there will be about 6 minutes less daylight.
Time zone
Jamaica does not use daylight saving time. The UTC offset therefore stays the same all year.
Best time to call
A convenient time is usually between 09:00 and 17:00 local time.
