About the time in Santa María
Around 176 people live in Santa María, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Santa María runs on America/Monterrey, 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.
Santa María sits at latitude 23.87, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 47m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
