About the time in Altar
Altar follows the civil time used across its region of Mexico; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
Altar runs on America/Hermosillo, which puts the city UTC −7 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.
The zone identifier America/Hermosillo is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Hermosillo keeps pointing at Hermosillo time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
