About the time in San Diego
Sunrise today lands at 05:35 and sunset at 06:15 local time, giving 12h 40m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (20.64, -88.33) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in San Diego.
San Diego 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.
Clocks in San Diego 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.
