I think it's the changing times that people don't like, rather than standard time. I'd prefer California to stay on standard time instead of staying on DST, so noon will be aligned with solar noon. (It is, right? I never actually checked.) |

Take today, Nov 1st 2024, solar noon is at the following times in the State in these locations:
1pm, Crescent City: https://www.timeanddate.com/astronomy/@11788520
12:53pm, San Francisco: https://www.timeanddate.com/astronomy/usa/san-francisco
12:36pm, Los Angeles: https://www.timeanddate.com/astronomy/usa/los-angeles
12:32pm, San Diego: https://www.timeanddate.com/astronomy/usa/san-diego
It’s tempting to want to put stock in solar noon as the the thing the day should be aligned around, but honestly it’s probably overrated. Personally, I much prefer daylight savings time over standard time if I had to pick only one.
