Lima is the capital of Peru, with a population of about 7,737,002. It uses the Peru Standard Time time zone (IANA identifier America/Lima).
Lima does not observe daylight saving time, so the clock stays on UTC−5 all year round. The time difference with places that do change their clocks — such as most of Europe and North America — therefore shifts by one hour twice a year.
Other cities on the same clock include Arequipa.
Because Lima lies at 12.04° S, 77.03° W, the length of the day changes only slightly through the year: around the June solstice there are about 11 h 25 min of daylight, and around the December solstice about 12 h 50 min.
