Mexico uses the metric system, so distances are in kilometers, weights are in kilograms, gasoline is sold by the liter, and temperatures are given in Celsius.
Time Zone
The Yucatán Peninsula is in U.S. Central Standard Time. Daylight Savings Time is recognized April–October.
Electricity
Mexico uses the 60-cycle, 110-volt AC current common in the United States. Bring a surge protector if you plan to plug in a laptop.
