About the time in San Salvador
The zone identifier America/Mexico_City is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Mexico_City keeps pointing at Mexico City time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Sunrise today lands at 06:11 and sunset at 06:50 local time, giving 12h 39m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (19.89, -97.20) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in San Salvador.
Around 325 people live in San Salvador, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
