About the time in El Recreo
El Recreo sits at latitude 18.04, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 35m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:04 and sunset at 06:39 local time, giving 12h 35m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (18.04, -94.86) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window 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.
