About the time in San José
Around 5 people live in San José, 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 06:12 and sunset at 07:01 local time, giving 12h 49m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (25.01, -98.58) 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.
