About the time in El Chinal
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 05:56 and sunset at 06:32 local time, giving 12h 36m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (17.48, -92.87) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in El Chinal.
El Chinal sits at latitude 17.48, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 36m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
