About the time in San Jose
Clocks in San Jose stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC −3 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Paraguay.
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.
San Jose sits at latitude -25.34, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 11h 25m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
