About the time in Lakeland
Around 104,401 people live in Lakeland, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Lakeland sits at latitude 28.04, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 00m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 07:01 and sunset at 08:01 local time, giving 13h 00m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (28.04, -81.95) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Lakeland.
