About the time in Cocal
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.
Sunrise today lands at 05:49 and sunset at 05:50 local time, giving 12h 01m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-3.47, -41.56) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Cocal.
Cocal sits at latitude -3.47, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 01m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
