About the time in Jackson County
Around 60,218 people live in Jackson County, 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 06:18 and sunset at 07:43 local time, giving 13h 25m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (37.79, -89.38) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Jackson County.
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.
