About the time in Puerto Rico
Sunrise today lands at 06:27 and sunset at 07:09 local time, giving 12h 42m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (20.99, -101.45) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Puerto Rico.
Puerto Rico runs on America/Mexico_City, 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.
Clocks in Puerto Rico 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.
