About the time in La Ceiba
La Ceiba sits at latitude 18.79, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 38m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:37 and sunset at 07:15 local time, giving 12h 38m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (18.79, -88.50) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in La Ceiba.
Around 156 people live in La Ceiba, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
