About the time in San Francisco
San Francisco sits at latitude 22.31, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 48m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Around 20 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.
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.
