Matehuala lies 495 km north of Mexico City, so Dhuhr in Matehuala is called about 6 minutes later than in Mexico City. This difference comes from longitude: every degree of longitude shifts solar noon by about four minutes, and that is why the timetable of the capital should not be used in Matehuala.
