About the time in San Jose
Around 143,495 people live in San Jose, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Sunrise today lands at 05:44 and sunset at 06:11 local time, giving 12h 27m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (12.45, 121.12) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window 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 01:00–09:00 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.
