About the time in El Palmar
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 06:24 and sunset at 06:45 local time, giving 12h 21m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (8.31, -82.85) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in El Palmar.
El Palmar sits at latitude 8.31, 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.
