Daylight Saving Time in Cancun
Mexico observes Daylight Saving Time on a different schedule than the US and Canada. Also, different states within Mexico change their clocks on different days. Confusing? Let me help explain.
Starting in 2010, the border states of Mexico with the US change their clock the same as the US does. The Mexican cities and states are:
City, State
Acuna, Coahuila
Anahuac, Nuevo Leon
Juarez, Chihuahua
Matamoros, Tamaulipas
Mexicali, Baja California
Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas
Ojinaga, Chihuahua
Piedras Negras, Coahuila
Reynosa, Tamaulipas
Tijuana, Baja California
| US and Border States of Mexico | ||
| 2012 | 11 March 2012 | 4 November 2012 |
| 2013 | 10 March 2013 | 3 November 2013 |
| 2014 | 9 March 2014 | 2 November 2014 |
| 2015 | 8 March 2015 | 1 November 2015 |
This was done to facilitate the commerce between the US and the Mexican border states. Here in Cancun, for the 3 weeks between the time the US changes and we change, it is confusing and chaotic. Some travelers to Cancun and the Riviera Maya have a difficult time figuring out their flight times. Here in Cancun we are on Central Standard Time (CST), but for those 3 weeks between time changes we are an hour different.
Now, for the rest of Mexico, including Cancun and Riviera Maya.

| 2013 | April 7 | October 27 |

I hope this information helps you understand the Daylight Saving Time differences between the US and Mexico.
