About the time in Dorchester
Dorchester sits at latitude 43.76, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 39m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Around 376 people live in Dorchester, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Sunrise today lands at 06:01 and sunset at 07:40 local time, giving 13h 39m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (43.76, -71.95) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Dorchester.
