Clocks in Veracruz 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.
Around 185 people live in Veracruz, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
