About the time in San Francisco
San Francisco sits at latitude 29.58, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 57m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
San Francisco runs on America/Ojinaga, which puts the city UTC −5 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
Around 93 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.
