About the time in San Diego
Around 6 people live in San Diego, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Sunrise today lands at 05:34 and sunset at 06:16 local time, giving 12h 42m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (21.15, -88.19) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in San Diego.
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.
