About the time in San Francisco
Around 3 people live in San Francisco, 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 Francisco sits at latitude 23.64, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 44m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:13 and sunset at 06:57 local time, giving 12h 44m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (23.64, -98.27) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in San Francisco.
