About the time in California
Around 5 people live in California, 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 06:06 and sunset at 06:44 local time, giving 12h 38m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (18.66, -95.61) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in California.
California sits at latitude 18.66, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 38m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
