About the time in San José
San José follows the civil time used across its region of Dominican Republic; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
Sunrise today lands at 06:25 and sunset at 07:03 local time, giving 12h 38m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (18.23, -70.47) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in San José.
San José sits at latitude 18.23, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 38m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
