About the time in Acapulco
Clocks in Acapulco 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.
Around 1,296 people live in Acapulco, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Acapulco sits at latitude 10.16, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 25m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
