About the time in Denver
Denver sits at latitude 40.40, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 31m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:35 and sunset at 08:05 local time, giving 13h 31m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (40.40, -94.32) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Denver.
Denver is on daylight saving time at the moment, which is why the offset reads UTC −5 instead of its winter value. Clocks go back on 1 November 2026, and anything scheduled across that date shifts by an hour.
