About the time in El Plátano
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 06:34 local time, giving 12h 23m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (9.13, -80.05) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in El Plátano.
El Plátano sits at latitude 9.13, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 23m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
