Guadalajara is a city in Mexico, in Jalisco, with a population of about 1,385,629. It uses the Central Standard Time time zone (IANA identifier America/Mexico_City).
Guadalajara does not observe daylight saving time, so the clock stays on UTC−6 all year round. The time difference with places that do change their clocks — such as most of Europe and North America — therefore shifts by one hour twice a year.
Other cities on the same clock include Mexico City, Puebla.
Because Guadalajara lies at 20.68° N, 103.35° W, the length of the day changes only slightly through the year: around the June solstice there are about 13 h 23 min of daylight, and around the December solstice about 10 h 53 min.
