About the time in Puerto Cortés
Puerto Cortés sits at latitude 8.96, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 22m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 05:26 and sunset at 05:48 local time, giving 12h 22m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (8.96, -83.52) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Puerto Cortés.
Puerto Cortés 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.
