Sunrise today lands at 05:28 and sunset at 05:51 local time, giving 12h 23m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (10.05, -84.38) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in El Rosario.
Around 3,757 people live in El Rosario, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
El Rosario sits at latitude 10.05, 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.
