About the time in Los Angeles
The zone identifier America/Lima is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Lima keeps pointing at Lima time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Los Angeles sits at latitude -8.38, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 11h 54m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Clocks in Los Angeles stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC −5 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Peru.
