Time now in Santa Elena (Gustavo de la Torre)

Santa Elena (Gustavo de la Torre) sits at latitude 23.08, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 43m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.

Sunrise today lands at 06:31 and sunset at 07:14 local time, giving 12h 43m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (23.08, -102.74) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Santa Elena (Gustavo de la Torre).

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.
