About the time in Barranca
Around 30,650 people live in Barranca, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Barranca sits at latitude 10.01, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 23m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 05:30 and sunset at 05:53 local time, giving 12h 23m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (10.01, -84.71) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Barranca.
