About the time in Quetzaltenango
Quetzaltenango sits at latitude 14.84, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 33m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 05:52 and sunset at 06:25 local time, giving 12h 33m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (14.84, -91.52) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Quetzaltenango.
The zone identifier America/Guatemala is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Guatemala keeps pointing at Guatemala time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
