About the time in Santa Cruz
Santa Cruz sits at latitude 27.15, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 52m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:35 and sunset at 07:27 local time, giving 12h 52m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (27.15, -104.87) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Santa Cruz.
Clocks in Santa Cruz 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.
