About the time in San José
San José sits at latitude 19.52, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 39m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:28 and sunset at 07:07 local time, giving 12h 39m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (19.52, -71.36) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in San José.
Clocks in San José stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC −4 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Dominican Republic.
