About the time in Boston
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Boston day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 14:00–22:00 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 05:56 and sunset at 06:14 local time, giving 12h 18m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (6.25, -75.56) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Boston.
The zone identifier America/Bogota is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Bogota keeps pointing at Bogota time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
