Sunrise today lands at 05:28 and sunset at 05:52 local time, giving 12h 23m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (10.07, -84.43) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Buenos Aires.
Clocks in Buenos Aires stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC −6 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Costa Rica.
