About the time in Caniçal
Caniçal sits at latitude 32.74, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 10m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 07:35 and sunset at 08:45 local time, giving 13h 10m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (32.74, -16.74) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Caniçal.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Caniçal day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 08:00–16:00 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.
