About the time in Cárdenas
Around 2,885 people live in Cárdenas, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Sunrise today lands at 06:26 and sunset at 07:10 local time, giving 12h 44m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (20.63, -101.22) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Cárdenas.
Cárdenas sits at latitude 20.63, 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.
