About the time in Santa Elena
Santa Elena sits at latitude 20.44, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 41m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 05:34 and sunset at 06:15 local time, giving 12h 41m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (20.44, -88.20) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Santa Elena.
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.
