Medellín is a city in Colombia, in Antioquia, with a population of about 1,999,979. It uses the Colombia Standard Time time zone (IANA identifier America/Bogota).
Medellín 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 Bogotá, Cali.
Because Medellín lies at 6.25° N, 75.57° W, the length of the day changes only slightly through the year: around the June solstice there are about 12 h 29 min of daylight, and around the December solstice about 11 h 46 min.
