About the time in Jefferson
Around 4,345 people live in Jefferson, 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 06:33 and sunset at 08:06 local time, giving 13h 33m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (42.02, -94.38) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Jefferson.
Jefferson sits at latitude 42.02, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 33m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
