Sunrise today lands at 06:13 and sunset at 06:53 local time, giving 12h 40m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (20.43, -97.83) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Santa María.
Santa María runs on America/Mexico_City, 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.
Clocks in Santa María 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.
