Around 130 people live in San Diego, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
San Diego sits at latitude 28.59, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 55m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
