About the time in El Salvador
El Salvador sits at latitude 22.35, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 43m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:28 and sunset at 07:11 local time, giving 12h 43m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (22.35, -101.82) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in El Salvador.
Clocks in El Salvador 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.
