How it works
Miami uses the America/New_York timezone, UTC-5 in standard time and UTC-4 when daylight saving is active. The clock is computed by your browser from your device's clock plus the IANA timezone database it ships with, the same source operating systems use, so daylight saving switches apply automatically on the correct dates.
