About the time in Santa Bárbara
Clocks in Santa Bárbara 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.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Santa Bárbara day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 15:00–23:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
Sunrise today lands at 06:10 and sunset at 06:47 local time, giving 12h 38m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (18.81, -96.59) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Santa Bárbara.
