About the time in San Francisco
Around 185 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 18.79, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 38m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:20 and sunset at 06:58 local time, giving 12h 38m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (18.79, -99.19) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in San Francisco.
