About the time in Locarno
Sunrise today lands at 06:32 and sunset at 08:23 local time, giving 13h 51m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (46.16, 8.89) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Locarno.
Around 15,776 people live in Locarno, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Locarno sits at latitude 46.16, in the temperate-north band, so day length here swings sharply between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 51m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
