About the time in El Rancho

El Rancho sits at latitude 18.68, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 40m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Clocks in El Rancho stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC −4 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Dominican Republic.
