Sunrise today lands at 07:17 and sunset at 08:14 local time, giving 12h 57m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (28.74, -100.79) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in El Papalote.
El Papalote runs on America/Matamoros, which puts the city UTC −5 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
