About the time in Mackay
Mackay sits at latitude 43.91, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 39m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Around 517 people live in Mackay, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
The zone identifier America/Boise is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Boise keeps pointing at Boise time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
