About the time in Santa Tecla
Santa Tecla sits at latitude 13.68, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 31m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 05:45 and sunset at 06:15 local time, giving 12h 31m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (13.68, -89.28) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Santa Tecla.
Clocks in Santa Tecla 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 El Salvador.
