About the time in Augusta
The zone identifier America/Chicago is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Chicago keeps pointing at Chicago time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Sunrise today lands at 06:49 and sunset at 08:12 local time, giving 13h 23m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (37.69, -96.97) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Augusta.
Around 9,274 people live in Augusta, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
