About the time in Salem
Around 3,482,056 people live in Salem, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Salem sits at latitude 11.69, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 28m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:06 and sunset at 06:34 local time, giving 12h 28m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (11.69, 78.29) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Salem.
