About the time in San José

San José runs on America/Merida, which puts the city UTC −6 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
Clocks in San José stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC −6 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Mexico.
