About the time in Brighton
Brighton sits at latitude 41.17, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 33m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:23 and sunset at 07:56 local time, giving 13h 33m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (41.17, -91.82) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Brighton.
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.
