About the time in La Prieta
La Prieta sits at latitude 25.37, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 50m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 07:08 and sunset at 07:58 local time, giving 12h 50m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (25.37, -97.79) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in La Prieta.
The zone identifier America/Matamoros is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Matamoros keeps pointing at Matamoros time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
