About the time in Dover
Sunrise today lands at 06:55 and sunset at 08:13 local time, giving 13h 18m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (35.98, -97.91) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Dover.
Around 473 people live in Dover, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Dover sits at latitude 35.98, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 18m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
