About the time in San Jose
Sunrise today lands at 07:06 and sunset at 06:35 local time, giving 11h 29m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-23.35, -57.08) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in San Jose.
San Jose runs on America/Asuncion, which puts the city UTC −3 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.
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.
