About the time in El Paso
Sunrise today lands at 05:58 and sunset at 06:34 local time, giving 12h 36m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (16.14, -93.30) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in El Paso.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal El Paso day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 15:00–23:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
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.
