About the time in San Francisco
San Francisco sits at latitude 21.84, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 47m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:18 and sunset at 07:05 local time, giving 12h 47m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (21.84, -99.58) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in San Francisco.
Clocks in San Francisco stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC −6 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Mexico.
