About the time in Brighton
Sunrise today lands at 06:50 and sunset at 08:25 local time, giving 13h 35m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (42.53, -83.78) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Brighton.
Around 7,444 people live in Brighton, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Brighton sits at latitude 42.53, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 35m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
