About the time in Ceará
The zone identifier America/Fortaleza is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Fortaleza keeps pointing at Fortaleza time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Ceará sits at latitude -5.00, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 11h 58m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 05:42 and sunset at 05:40 local time, giving 11h 58m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-5.00, -39.50) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Ceará.
