Current local time in San Salvador

San Salvador is the capital of El Salvador, with a population of about 525,990. It uses the Central Standard Time time zone (IANA identifier America/El_Salvador).

San Salvador 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 San Salvador lies at 13.69° N, 89.19° W, the length of the day changes only slightly through the year: around the June solstice there are about 12 h 56 min of daylight, and around the December solstice about 11 h 19 min.
