About the time in San José
San José follows the civil time used across its region of Colombia; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
San José sits at latitude 6.17, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 17m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
San José runs on America/Bogota, which puts the city UTC −5 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.
