About the time in Halifax
Halifax sits at latitude 44.64, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 11h 20m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 07:21 and sunset at 06:41 local time, giving 11h 20m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (44.64, -63.58) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Halifax.
Halifax is on daylight saving time at the moment, which is why the offset reads UTC −3 instead of its winter value. Clocks go back on 1 November 2026, and anything scheduled across that date shifts by an hour.
