About the time in Auckland
Sunrise today lands at 06:57 and sunset at 05:51 local time, giving 10h 53m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-36.86, 174.74) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Auckland.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Auckland day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 21:00–05:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
Auckland sits at latitude -36.86, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 10h 53m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
