About the time in Santo Domingo
Santo Domingo sits at latitude 17.67, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 36m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 05:52 and sunset at 06:28 local time, giving 12h 36m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (17.67, -92.03) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Santo Domingo.
Clocks in Santo Domingo stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC −6 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Mexico.
