Your OP shows 8:08am. Perhaps you need to go into your settings?

Look at the time displayed at the top of the page, which shows an hour later than current Mexican time. My computer shows the time right now as 8:38. I don't have control of either of those things, so please expand on what you are saying. I'm flummoxed. Very Happy

The above is what I see at 08:52. Check the timezone your device is configured for.

It will probably change this weekend when other countries catch up to Mexico.

Probably right.

If you have the time zone in your personal settings set for central time in Mexico then your time will be correct however if you have it set for central time in the US or Canada then it will be off by one hour until tomorrow.

Yes, Gringal, for me the time at the top of this page is the current Mexico time.

But. I found the timezone chart with its gazillion options, none of which are Guadalajara. Mine was set for Chicago (????). I'm sure I didn't do that.

Now, unless I'm totally out of touch, daylight savings time right here kicked in last Sunday, so the computer I'm on says it's 9:32. It did that automatically.
Would some kind soul out there tell what time it is in the real world????
Also, suggest what city to set that time zone at?

Mexico City

Thanks. Found it. It worked. I am now in sync. with reality.
Anyone besides me hate the Fall Back DST? I get hungry an hour early.

In our dotage, we have fallen back to the primitive state of obeying our circadian rhythm; getting up when it gets light & going to bed when it gets dark (with a TV remote) and eating when we are hungry.
Boring!
The only inconvenience with the various time schedules is trying to remember where TV programs originate; 2 hours east, or 3 hours east, or one hour west, or are they delayed just for us??????
