San José sits at latitude 15.76, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 32m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Around 152 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 06:13 and sunset at 06:45 local time, giving 12h 32m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (15.76, -96.78) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in San José.
