The clock: Chihuahua keeps UTC−6 after Mexico abolished daylight saving in 2022, apart from its border municipalities.
Chihuahua lies at 106.1°W. Its time zone, UTC−6, is built around the 90°W meridian. The 16.1° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 64 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 13:04 rather than 12:00. The zone holds UTC−6 all year — there is no daylight saving here.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 13h 58m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 10h 19m. The swing between them is 3h 39m. At this latitude the seasons are visible in the clock, but never dramatic.
The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Chihuahua the sun comes up earliest on 11 June at 06:06, while the latest sunset waits until 3 July at 20:06. The equation of time is what separates them: the Earth's elliptical orbit and axial tilt move solar noon back and forth by several minutes over the year.
The sky stays usably light for a while after the sun goes down. In Chihuahua that civil twilight runs about 24 minutes at the equinox.
Every figure in this section is computed from the city's own latitude, longitude and IANA time zone using NOAA solar algorithms (Spencer, 1971), accurate to about ±2 arcminutes below 65° latitude.
