About the time in Petone
Petone sits at latitude -41.22, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 10h 43m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 07:02 and sunset at 05:45 local time, giving 10h 43m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-41.22, 174.87) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Petone.
The zone identifier Pacific/Auckland is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Pacific/Auckland keeps pointing at Auckland time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
