Time zones and clock changes
Mexico City and Monterrey use central Mexican time, Cancún uses a fixed eastern offset, and Tijuana, Ciudad Juárez and Hermosillo follow different regional rules. Most of Mexico no longer changes clocks seasonally, while specified northern border municipalities still do.
Holiday and working-day notes
Mandatory rest days under federal labour law are not the same as every civic, school or bank observance. Election dates and state or municipal closures may add locally relevant dates.
Planning accurately
Select the actual Mexican city and date. Border-zone daylight-saving rules can make the difference from the United States change differently from the rest of Mexico.
Use the date-aware converter for future meetings and the working-days calculator for date ranges.
