About the time in Milton
Sunrise today lands at 06:09 and sunset at 07:48 local time, giving 13h 38m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (42.78, -88.95) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Milton.
Around 5,546 people live in Milton, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Milton sits at latitude 42.78, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 38m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
