What time is it in Ciudad del Carmen right now?
The time in Ciudad del Carmen, Mexico is 8:21 am, 08:21 on a 24 hour clock, on Friday November 6, 2026. The reading above ticks from your own device against the America/Merida rules, so it stays right through a clock change rather than drifting an hour out twice a year.
Ciudad del Carmen sits at 18.65 degrees north and 91.83 degrees west, inside the tropics, north of the equator and 2,073 km from the equator. Its clock is set to a zone whose nominal meridian is 90.0 degrees west, and the city itself is 1.8 degrees west of that line. Those 1.8 degrees are worth 7 minutes 19 seconds of sun time, which is most of why solar noon here lands at 11:51 am rather than on the stroke of twelve.

Moon phase over Ciudad del Carmen tonight
The moon is a waning crescent tonight, 26.9 days into its cycle and about 7% lit. The next full moon falls on November 24, 2026 at 8:53 am Merida time, and the next new moon on November 9, 2026 at 1:01 am. Both are the same instant everywhere on Earth, printed here on the Ciudad del Carmen clock, which is why the calendar date can differ from the one a reader further east or west sees.
When the clocks change in Ciudad del Carmen
There is no clock change scheduled in America/Merida within the next 400 days, so Ciudad del Carmen stays at UTC-6 for the whole of that stretch.

The antipode of Ciudad del Carmen
Dig straight through the centre of the Earth from Ciudad del Carmen, Mexico and you come out at 18.65 degrees south, 88.17 degrees east. That point is in the Indian Ocean. The nearest city in our catalogue to it is Bengkulu, Indonesia, 2,252 km away from the antipode itself, where the clock currently reads 9:21 pm on Friday.
The antipode is worked out by flipping the latitude across the equator and swinging the longitude a half turn: 18.65 degrees north becomes 18.65 degrees south, and 91.83 degrees west becomes 88.17 degrees east. Two thirds of the planet is ocean and the land is unevenly spread, so most antipodes are open water: Ciudad del Carmen is no exception. The local time at the antipode runs close to UTC+6, roughly twelve hours from Ciudad del Carmen, because a half turn of longitude is a half turn of the day.
Sunrise and sunset in Ciudad del Carmen

Sun and moon in Ciudad del Carmen today
The sun is up in Ciudad del Carmen for 11 hours 23 minutes today, from 6:10 am to 5:32 pm. The moon rises in Ciudad del Carmen at 3:48 am and sets at 3:44 pm.

| Sun | Time in Ciudad del Carmen |

| Nautical dawn | 5:21 am |
| Civil dawn | 5:47 am |

| Sunset | 5:32 pm |
| Civil dusk | 5:55 pm |
| Nautical dusk | 6:21 pm |
| Astronomical dusk | 6:47 pm |
Twilight is graded by how far the sun has dropped below the horizon. Civil twilight ends six degrees down, which is roughly the point at which you need a light to read outside. Nautical twilight ends at twelve degrees, when the horizon at sea stops being usable for a sextant sight. Astronomical twilight ends at eighteen degrees, which is full darkness for an observer.
| Light band | Time in Ciudad del Carmen | Length |
|---|---|---|
| Morning blue hour | 5:47 am to 5:56 am | 0h 09m |
| Morning golden hour | 5:56 am to 6:40 am | 0h 44m |
| Evening golden hour | 5:02 pm to 5:46 pm | 0h 44m |
| Evening blue hour | 5:46 pm to 5:55 pm | 0h 09m |
Golden hour is the stretch with the sun between six degrees above the horizon and four below it, and blue hour runs from there down to six degrees below. Neither is literally an hour: each is as long as the sun takes to cross those few degrees, which is minutes near the equator and can be most of the evening at high latitude.
| Moon | Reading in Ciudad del Carmen |
|---|---|
| Moonrise | 3:48 am |
| Moonset | 3:44 pm |
| Phase | waning crescent, waning |
| Illumination | 7% of the disc lit |
| Moon age | 27.1 days since the new moon |
| Distance | 389,600 km |
Moonrise and moonset are computed to the moment the moon's upper edge touches a flat horizon, allowing for refraction, for the size of the disc and for the moon's parallax, which together put the centre of the moon at 0.125 degrees above the horizon at the instant it rises. That is a different horizon from the one sunrise uses, and it is why a moonrise time cannot be worked out with a sunrise formula.

No hour on Friday, November 6, 2026 is inside 9 to 5 in all 5 places, so nothing is highlighted as a shared working hour. Los Angeles and Delhi are 13 hours 30 minutes apart, which is more than the eight hour working day leaves room for. The closest is 3 of 5: from 9:00 am in Ciudad del Carmen it is working hours in Ciudad del Carmen, New York and London, but outside them in Los Angeles and Delhi. A meeting across this set has to be early or late for somebody.
Prayer times in Ciudad del Carmen
Seven days from November 6, 2026, computed for Ciudad del Carmen, Mexico at 18.65 degrees north, 91.83 degrees west, on the clock of America/Merida. The method is Muslim World League (Muslim World League, Mecca), which puts Fajr at 18.0 degrees below the horizon and Isha at 17.0 degrees. Asr uses the Standard shadow ratio of 1, which is the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali position.
| Date | Fajr | Sunrise | Dhuhr | Asr | Maghrib | Isha |

Dhuhr is solar noon at Ciudad del Carmen, Mexico, the instant the Sun crosses the local meridian, so it moves with longitude inside the time zone and with the equation of time through the year rather than sitting at a fixed clock reading. Sunrise and Maghrib are the standard refracted horizon, the same 0.833 degrees every almanac uses. Every figure above is computed from the Sun's position for this exact coordinate; none of it is copied from a table.
Different methods disagree, and that is expected rather than an error. Fajr under ISNA at 15 degrees comes later than Fajr under Egyptian General Authority of Survey at 19.5 degrees, by twenty minutes or more depending on latitude and season. Follow whichever your local mosque follows.
Qibla direction from Ciudad del Carmen
From Ciudad del Carmen, Mexico the qibla is 52.0 degrees on a true compass, which is northeast, or 38.0 degrees north of due east. The Kaaba is 13,121 km away, 8,153 miles, measured over the surface of the Earth.
That figure is the initial bearing of the great circle from Ciudad del Carmen, Mexico to 21.4225 degrees north, 39.8262 degrees east, which is the Kaaba inside Masjid al-Haram.
The bearing is measured from true north, not magnetic north. A magnetic compass points at the magnetic pole, and the difference between the two can be anything from nothing to more than twenty degrees depending where you are, so check your compass reading against magnetic declination for Ciudad del Carmen, Mexico before you use it. A phone compass set to true north, or the shadow of a vertical stick at local solar noon, avoids the problem entirely.

A live clock showing the current time in Ciudad del Carmen, Mexico, ready to paste into any page that accepts HTML. It reads America/Merida from the time zone database, so it stays right when Ciudad del Carmen changes its clocks, and it shows CST to every visitor wherever they are reading from. It is a plain iframe: no account, no script to install, nothing to pay.
The box needs 183 pixels of height for these settings, which is what the code above sets, and the numbers show at full size from 305 pixels of width up. Narrower than that they scale down rather than wrapping, and turning a line off makes the box shorter. The code updates with either.
