About Kingston time
Kingston uses the America/Jamaica time zone, which is UTC-5:00 from UTC. Different cities show different clock readings at the same moment precisely because their offsets differ.
Kingston does not observe daylight saving time, so its offset stays at UTC-5:00 all year round.
Time is converted in real time by the browser using IANA time zones, in line with your device clock. The page updates once a second and makes no network requests.
Below the clock, a grid shows local progress in time: one square per hour fills up the current day, and one square per day fills up the year, with today’s cell gradually filling from morning to night.
