About the time in Santo Tomás
Santo Tomás sits at latitude 9.98, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 23m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 05:27 and sunset at 05:50 local time, giving 12h 23m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (9.98, -84.08) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Santo Tomás.
Clocks in Santo Tomás 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 Costa Rica.
