About the time in El Refugio
El Refugio 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.
Around 124 people live in El Refugio, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
El Refugio sits at latitude 17.90, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 39m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
