About the time in Cambridge
Cambridge sits at latitude 41.90, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 33m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:30 and sunset at 08:03 local time, giving 13h 33m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (41.90, -93.54) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Cambridge.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Cambridge 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.
