How to read it
Fire and earthquakes are what Los Angeles looks up. The dry Santa Ana winds of fall and winter drive its worst wildfires, and the place card names any fire the satellites have detected close by and any strong quake in the region in the last day. From the beaches the Sun sets over the Pacific for most of the year.
Los Angeles's longest day, around June 21, has 14 hours 26 minutes of daylight, and its shortest, around December 21, has 9 hours 53 minutes.
Sunset in Los Angeles comes earliest around December 2, at about 4:43 PM, and latest around June 25, at about 8:08 PM. That earliest sunset comes about 19 days before Los Angeles's shortest day, because the Sun's noon drifts against the clock through the year. Los Angeles's clocks change twice a year, so its sunset jumps by an hour on each of those days.
Los Angeles's evening golden hour, the Sun from 6° up to 4° below the horizon, lasts about 50 minutes around the equinoxes; at midsummer about 55 minutes.
