Managua is the capital of Nicaragua, with a population of about 973,087. It uses the Central Standard Time time zone (IANA identifier America/Managua).
Managua 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, Guadalajara, Calgary, Monterrey, Guatemala City.
Because Managua lies at 12.13° N, 86.25° W, the length of the day changes only slightly through the year: around the June solstice there are about 12 h 50 min of daylight, and around the December solstice about 11 h 25 min.
