About the time in San Mateo
Sunrise today lands at 06:06 and sunset at 05:53 local time, giving 11h 47m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-12.75, -74.40) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in San Mateo.
San Mateo runs on America/Lima, which puts the city UTC −5 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.
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.
