About the time in Carlsbad
Carlsbad sits at latitude 33.12, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 07m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Carlsbad follows the civil time used across its region of United States; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
Sunrise today lands at 06:18 and sunset at 07:25 local time, giving 13h 07m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (33.12, -117.28) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Carlsbad.
