Summer and winter prayer times in Oaxaca
Prayer times in Oaxaca change noticeably between the seasons. Around the summer solstice (21 June) Fajr is at around 4:33 AM and Maghrib at 7:03 PM, giving a day of 13 h 09 min.

Oaxaca lies 366 km south-east of Mexico City, so Dhuhr in Oaxaca is called about 10 minutes earlier than in Mexico City. The gap is due to longitude: each degree shifts solar noon by about four minutes, and that is why the timetable of the capital is not accurate in Oaxaca.
