About the time in San José
Sunrise today lands at 05:56 and sunset at 06:30 local time, giving 12h 34m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (15.09, -92.56) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in San José.
Around 6 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 sits at latitude 15.09, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 34m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
