About the time in Chicago
Chicago sits at latitude 18.42, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 39m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:19 and sunset at 06:58 local time, giving 12h 39m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (18.42, -68.98) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Chicago.
The zone identifier America/Santo_Domingo is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Santo_Domingo keeps pointing at Santo Domingo time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
