About the time in La Ceiba
The zone identifier America/Mexico_City is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Mexico_City keeps pointing at Mexico City time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Sunrise today lands at 06:17 and sunset at 07:00 local time, giving 12h 43m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (21.90, -99.06) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in La Ceiba.
Clocks in La Ceiba 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.
