About the time in Colombo
The zone identifier America/Sao_Paulo is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Sao_Paulo keeps pointing at Sao Paulo time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Colombo sits at latitude -25.29, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 11h 21m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Around 232,212 people live in Colombo, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
