About the time in San Francisco
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.
Sunrise today lands at 06:15 and sunset at 06:03 local time, giving 11h 48m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-12.05, -76.75) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in San Francisco.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal San Francisco day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 14:00–22:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
