About the time in Bristol
Around 17,835 people live in Bristol, 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 06:51 and sunset at 08:11 local time, giving 13h 20m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (36.60, -82.19) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Bristol.
Bristol sits at latitude 36.60, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 20m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
