About the time in El Sitio
Sunrise today lands at 06:17 and sunset at 06:36 local time, giving 12h 20m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (7.81, -81.05) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in El Sitio.
El Sitio 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.
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.
