Jackson Parish runs on America/Chicago, which puts the city UTC −5 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
Sunrise today lands at 06:39 and sunset at 07:47 local time, giving 13h 09m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (32.30, -92.56) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Jackson Parish.
