About the time in Tennessee
Tennessee sits at latitude 35.75, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 19m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Around 7,227,750 people live in Tennessee, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Tennessee day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 14:00–22:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
