About the time in Wilson
Wilson sits at latitude 38.83, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 24m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:54 and sunset at 08:18 local time, giving 13h 24m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (38.83, -98.47) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Wilson.
Wilson 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.
