About the time in Lancaster
Around 3,864 people live in Lancaster, 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 06:59 and sunset at 08:24 local time, giving 13h 25m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (37.62, -84.58) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Lancaster.
Lancaster sits at latitude 37.62, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 25m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
