About the time in Allen
Allen sits at latitude 41.96, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 36m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:54 and sunset at 08:29 local time, giving 13h 36m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (41.96, -84.77) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Allen.
The zone identifier America/Detroit is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Detroit keeps pointing at Detroit time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
