About the time in Riga
Riga sits at latitude 56.95, in the temperate-north band, so day length here swings sharply between midwinter and midsummer — today's 14h 48m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:02 and sunset at 08:51 local time, giving 14h 48m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (56.95, 24.11) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Riga.
Around 742,572 people live in Riga, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
