About the time in El Meco
El Meco sits at latitude 21.21, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 43m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:28 and sunset at 07:11 local time, giving 12h 43m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (21.21, -86.80) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in El Meco.
The zone identifier America/Cancun is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Cancun keeps pointing at Cancun time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
