Sunrise today lands at 06:51 and sunset at 07:54 local time, giving 13h 03m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (29.76, -94.97) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Baytown.
Baytown is on daylight saving time at the moment, which is why the offset reads UTC −5 instead of its winter value. Clocks go back on 1 November 2026, and anything scheduled across that date shifts by an hour.
