About the time in El Carmen
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 05:59 and sunset at 06:34 local time, giving 12h 35m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (17.64, -93.74) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in El Carmen.
El Carmen sits at latitude 17.64, 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.
