About the time in Medellín
The zone identifier America/Bogota is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Bogota keeps pointing at Bogota time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Sunrise today lands at 05:56 and sunset at 06:14 local time, giving 12h 18m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (6.25, -75.58) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Medellín.
Medellín sits at latitude 6.25, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 18m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
