About the time in Buka
Sunrise today lands at 06:45 and sunset at 06:43 local time, giving 11h 58m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-5.43, 154.67) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Buka.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Buka day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 22:00–06:00 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.
Buka follows the civil time used across its region of Papua New Guinea; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
