San Jose does not observe daylight saving time — it stays at UTC-6 all year round.
San Jose is 2h 0min behind New York and does not observe daylight saving time, so this difference stays constant all year round — unlike London, which changes clocks twice a year. Despite its geography, Costa Rica keeps a single time zone nationwide, so every city we track there shares San Jose's offset.
