About the time in Lajes
Around 10,385 people live in Lajes, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Lajes sits at latitude -5.78, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 11h 57m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 05:29 and sunset at 05:26 local time, giving 11h 57m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-5.78, -36.17) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Lajes.
