About the time in La Fayette
Sunrise today lands at 06:09 and sunset at 07:19 local time, giving 13h 10m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (32.90, -85.40) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in La Fayette.
Around 3,003 people live in La Fayette, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
La Fayette sits at latitude 32.90, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 10m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
