Daylight saving time in McNeal
McNeal does not observe daylight saving time — its clocks stay on UTC−7 year round, so sunrise and sunset never jump an hour in spring or fall.
Why sunset time shifts in McNeal
Sunset drifts through the year with Earth’s ~23.4° axial tilt — see the full daylight explainer.
In McNeal, the longest day carries about 14h 13m of daylight and the shortest just 10h 5m — a swing of roughly 4h 8m between the June and December solstices. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider that gap; the pace also isn’t steady, moving fastest near the equinoxes and barely at all near the solstices. Every figure here is computed from the sun’s position for McNeal’s exact coordinates, in local time.
