About the time in Veracruz
Veracruz sits at latitude 16.87, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 35m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:00 and sunset at 06:35 local time, giving 12h 35m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (16.87, -93.76) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Veracruz.
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.
