About the time in Texas
Texas sits at latitude 31.25, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 11h 37m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 07:35 and sunset at 07:12 local time, giving 11h 37m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (31.25, -99.25) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Texas.
Texas is on daylight saving time at the moment, which is why the offset reads UTC −5 instead of its winter value. Clocks go back on 1 November 2026, and anything scheduled across that date shifts by an hour.
