About the time in San José
Sunrise today lands at 06:12 and sunset at 07:17 local time, giving 13h 06m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (32.64, -115.62) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in San José.
Around 12 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.
San José is on daylight saving time at the moment, which is why the offset reads UTC −7 instead of its winter value. Clocks go back on 1 November 2026, and anything scheduled across that date shifts by an hour.
