About the time in Colón
Around 78,000 people live in Colón, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Colón runs on America/Panama, which puts the city UTC −5 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
Sunrise today lands at 06:11 and sunset at 06:34 local time, giving 12h 23m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (9.36, -79.90) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Colón.
