San Juan is the capital of Puerto Rico, with a population of about 418,140. It uses the Atlantic Standard Time time zone (IANA identifier America/Puerto_Rico).

San Juan does not observe daylight saving time, so the clock stays on UTC−4 all year round. The time difference with places that do change their clocks — such as most of Europe and North America — therefore shifts by one hour twice a year.

Other cities on the same clock include Caracas, Manaus, Santo Domingo, Havana, La Paz, Santa Cruz de la Sierra.

Because San Juan lies at 18.47° N, 66.11° W, the length of the day changes only slightly through the year: around the June solstice there are about 13 h 14 min of daylight, and around the December solstice about 11 h 01 min.
