About the time in Lufkin
Lufkin sits at latitude 31.32, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 06m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:48 and sunset at 07:55 local time, giving 13h 06m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (31.32, -94.73) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Lufkin.
Lufkin runs on America/Chicago, which puts the city UTC −5 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
