About the time in Novato
Novato sits at latitude 38.12, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 24m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Novato runs on America/Los_Angeles, which puts the city UTC −7 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.
Sunrise today lands at 06:31 and sunset at 07:55 local time, giving 13h 24m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (38.12, -122.57) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Novato.
