About the time in Fort Payne
The zone identifier America/Chicago is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Chicago keeps pointing at Chicago time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Sunrise today lands at 06:09 and sunset at 07:21 local time, giving 13h 12m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (34.46, -85.70) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Fort Payne.
Fort Payne sits at latitude 34.46, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 12m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
