About the time in La Palma
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.
La Palma sits at latitude 17.88, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 36m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:04 and sunset at 06:40 local time, giving 12h 36m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (17.88, -94.89) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in La Palma.
