About the time in El Cacao
Around 240 people live in El Cacao, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
El Cacao sits at latitude 17.33, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 35m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
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.
