Evening win
Under Pacific Time (PCT), sunset stays after 5 PM on 365 calendar days in the 2026 model — shifting evening light an hour later than permanent standard time.
Morning trade-off
Winter sunrises shift an hour later. In December, the sun doesn't rise until after 9 AM — a real consideration for early commuters and school-age kids.
