About the time in Santa Elena
Santa Elena follows the civil time used across its region of Mexico; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
Santa Elena runs on America/Merida, which puts the city UTC −6 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
Sunrise today lands at 05:41 and sunset at 06:20 local time, giving 12h 39m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (20.31, -89.71) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Santa Elena.
