About the time in El Alacrán
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.
Sunrise today lands at 06:12 and sunset at 06:44 local time, giving 12h 33m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (15.93, -96.48) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in El Alacrán.
