Mexico uses four time zones:[1][2]

Some municipalities near the U.S. border[a][b][c] and the entire state of Baja California observe daylight saving time, setting the time forward one hour on the second Sunday of March at 2:00 and back one hour on the first Sunday of November at 2:00, therefore maintaining the same time as the respective areas across the border in the United States.[1][2]

Mexican law states that remote islands observe the time zone corresponding to their geographic location.[1] According to this rule, in the Revillagigedo Islands, San Benedicto, Socorro and Roca Partida are in UTC−07:00, and Clarion is in UTC−08:00.
