Around 121,631 people live in Bern, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Bern sits at latitude 46.95, in the temperate-north band, so day length here swings sharply between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 57m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
