About the time in Buenos Aires
The zone identifier America/Mexico_City is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Mexico_City keeps pointing at Mexico City time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Buenos Aires sits at latitude 21.79, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 44m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Clocks in Buenos Aires 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 Mexico.
