About this clock
Evansville does not keep Indiana's usual time
Most of Indiana is on Eastern Standard Time, but Evansville keeps Central Standard Time — 1 hour behind the rest of the state. This is the kind of thing that catches people out, and it is why the zone is resolved from the city’s own coordinates rather than assumed from the state.
Evansville is currently on standard time. The next change is Sunday, March 14, 2027, when 2:00 am becomes 3:00 am local time.
Evansville sits at 37.99°N, 87.53°W. For sunrise and sunset there — which do depend on exactly where it is, unlike the clock — see sunrise and sunset in Evansville.
Clock time against sun time
The clock says the same thing everywhere in Central Standard Time, but the sun does not. Over Evansville it is highest at 11:34 am today — 26 minutes before clock noon.
At 87.5°W, Evansville sits 10 minutes of solar time east of Central Standard Time’s 90° meridian, so on standard time the sun peaks 10 minutes before noon.
