About the time in Acapulco
Sunrise today lands at 06:12 and sunset at 06:11 local time, giving 11h 59m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-4.72, -77.14) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Acapulco.
Acapulco runs on America/Lima, which puts the city UTC −5 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
Acapulco sits at latitude -4.72, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 11h 59m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
