About the time in San Jose
San Jose sits at latitude -26.75, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 11h 22m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
San Jose follows the civil time used across its region of Paraguay; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
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.
