About the time in York
York sits at latitude 53.96, in the temperate-north band, so day length here swings sharply between midwinter and midsummer — today's 14h 22m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Around 209,301 people live in York, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Sunrise today lands at 05:56 and sunset at 08:18 local time, giving 14h 22m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (53.96, -1.09) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in York.
