About the time in Las Cruces
Las Cruces sits at latitude 26.99, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 53m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:39 and sunset at 07:32 local time, giving 12h 53m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (26.99, -105.92) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Las Cruces.
The zone identifier America/Chihuahua is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Chihuahua keeps pointing at Chihuahua time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
