About the time in El Refugio
The zone identifier America/Monterrey is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Monterrey keeps pointing at Monterrey time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Sunrise today lands at 06:16 and sunset at 07:01 local time, giving 12h 46m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (22.57, -99.03) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in El Refugio.
Clocks in El Refugio 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.
