About the time in El Cocal
El Cocal sits at latitude 8.59, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 21m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:13 and sunset at 06:34 local time, giving 12h 21m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (8.59, -80.29) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in El Cocal.
El Cocal 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.
