About the time in Basse-Terre
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Basse-Terre day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 13:00–21:00 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.
Sunrise today lands at 05:52 and sunset at 06:27 local time, giving 12h 35m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (16.00, -61.73) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Basse-Terre.
Basse-Terre runs on America/Guadeloupe, which puts the city UTC −4 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
