About the time in San Jose
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal San Jose day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 12:00–20:00 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.
Sunrise today lands at 07:04 and sunset at 06:25 local time, giving 11h 22m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-27.12, -55.63) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in San Jose.
The zone identifier America/Asuncion is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Asuncion keeps pointing at Asuncion time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
