About the time in Jacksonville
Jacksonville sits at latitude 30.34, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 02m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:58 and sunset at 08:00 local time, giving 13h 02m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (30.34, -81.66) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Jacksonville.
Around 821,784 people live in Jacksonville, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
