About the time in Santa Cruz
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 05:56 and sunset at 06:29 local time, giving 12h 33m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (16.52, -92.77) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Santa Cruz.
Santa Cruz sits at latitude 16.52, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 33m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
