About the time in San Rafael
The zone identifier America/Cancun is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Cancun keeps pointing at Cancun time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
San Rafael sits at latitude 18.49, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 37m 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 −5 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Mexico.
