Daylight in Los Angeles
Los Angeles has a milder seasonal change in day length than northern U.S. cities, but local sunrise and sunset still move through the year and around daylight-saving changes.
The result is a planning reference for the selected place and date, not a promise of clear skies or an unobstructed horizon. Hills, buildings, trees, weather, and the exact point within a city can change when the Sun is visible.
Use the right date and clock
Choose the date at your destination rather than converting a result from another time zone. Daylight-saving changes can alter the clock time even when the underlying seasonal shift is gradual.
