About the time in Chester
Around 310 people live in Chester, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Chester sits at latitude 30.93, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 04m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:49 and sunset at 07:52 local time, giving 13h 04m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (30.93, -94.60) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Chester.
