About the time in San Francisco
Clocks in San Francisco stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC −5 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Peru.
Around 296 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 -5.30, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 11h 59m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
