About the time in Santa Cruz
Santa Cruz sits at latitude 15.79, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 31m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 05:54 and sunset at 06:25 local time, giving 12h 31m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (15.79, -92.01) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Santa Cruz.
Around 5 people live in Santa Cruz, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
