About the time in Mérida
Sunrise today lands at 05:39 and sunset at 06:22 local time, giving 12h 43m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (21.00, -89.62) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Mérida.
Mérida runs on America/Merida, which puts the city UTC −6 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
The zone identifier America/Merida is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Merida keeps pointing at Merida time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
