About the time in Cambridge
Sunrise today lands at 05:57 and sunset at 07:37 local time, giving 13h 40m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (42.38, -71.12) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Cambridge.
Around 105,162 people live in Cambridge, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Cambridge sits at latitude 42.38, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 40m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
