About the time in San Juan
Around 317 people live in San Juan, 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 Juan sits at latitude -9.12, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 11h 53m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
The zone identifier America/Lima is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Lima keeps pointing at Lima time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
