About the time in San Francisco
Around 4 people live in San Francisco, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
San Francisco sits at latitude 24.93, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 49m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
The zone identifier America/Monterrey is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Monterrey keeps pointing at Monterrey time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
