Current Time in San José, Costa Rica

About time in San Jose

San José runs on Costa Rica Time (UTC-6) year-round — Costa Rica does not observe daylight saving time, so this offset never changes with the seasons. It happens to share the same UTC-6 offset as US Central Standard Time, but the two are not the same zone and don't shift together.
