Sunrise today lands at 06:47 and sunset at 08:20 local time, giving 13h 33m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (41.08, -97.78) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Polk.

The zone identifier America/Chicago is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Chicago keeps pointing at Chicago time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
