About the time in San José
The zone identifier America/Chihuahua is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Chihuahua keeps pointing at Chihuahua time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Sunrise today lands at 06:47 and sunset at 07:42 local time, giving 12h 55m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (27.80, -108.03) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in San José.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal San José day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 15:00–23:00 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.
