Sunrise today lands at 06:29 and sunset at 07:09 local time, giving 12h 40m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (18.96, -71.71) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in El Candelón.
The zone identifier America/Santo_Domingo is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Santo_Domingo keeps pointing at Santo Domingo time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
