About the time in Cambridge
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.
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, -71.11) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Cambridge.
Cambridge is on daylight saving time at the moment, which is why the offset reads UTC −4 instead of its winter value. Clocks go back on 1 November 2026, and anything scheduled across that date shifts by an hour.
