About the time in El Recreo
Clocks in El Recreo stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC −6 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Mexico.
El Recreo runs on America/Mexico_City, which puts the city UTC −6 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.
Sunrise today lands at 06:09 and sunset at 06:48 local time, giving 12h 38m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (19.76, -96.66) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in El Recreo.
