About the time in Colón
The zone identifier America/Panama is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Panama keeps pointing at Panama time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Sunrise today lands at 06:12 and sunset at 06:33 local time, giving 12h 21m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (8.50, -79.97) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Colón.
Around 371 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.
