Around 493 people live in Palapa, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Clocks in Palapa 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.
