About the time in Lima
Around 7,737,002 people live in Lima, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Sunrise today lands at 06:18 and sunset at 06:04 local time, giving 11h 46m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-12.04, -77.03) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Lima.
Lima sits at latitude -12.04, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 11h 46m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
