About the time in Sonora
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.
Sunrise today lands at 05:50 and sunset at 06:27 local time, giving 12h 38m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (17.84, -91.48) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Sonora.
Clocks in Sonora 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.
