Around 238,151 people live in Balıkesir, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Sunrise today lands at 06:26 and sunset at 07:57 local time, giving 13h 32m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (39.65, 27.89) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Balıkesir.
