About the time in Puerto Rico
Puerto Rico follows the civil time used across its region of Dominican Republic; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
Sunrise today lands at 06:23 and sunset at 07:00 local time, giving 12h 37m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (19.21, -70.03) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Puerto Rico.
The zone identifier America/Santo_Domingo is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Santo_Domingo keeps pointing at Santo Domingo time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
