La Palmera runs on America/Costa_Rica, which puts the city UTC −6 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.
Sunrise today lands at 05:28 and sunset at 05:52 local time, giving 12h 24m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (10.40, -84.38) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in La Palmera.
