About the time in Palo Alto
Sunrise today lands at 06:25 and sunset at 07:04 local time, giving 12h 39m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (19.58, -70.69) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Palo Alto.
Palo Alto runs on America/Santo_Domingo, which puts the city UTC −4 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.
Palo Alto sits at latitude 19.58, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 39m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
