About the time in San Rafael
Around 30 people live in San Rafael, 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 Rafael sits at latitude 20.18, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 40m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Clocks in San Rafael 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.
