Sunrise today lands at 06:07 and sunset at 07:41 local time, giving 13h 34m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (40.77, -87.73) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Watseka.
Watseka runs on America/Chicago, 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.
