About the time in Chankanai West
Sunrise today lands at 06:01 and sunset at 06:24 local time, giving 12h 23m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (9.76, 79.97) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Chankanai West.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Chankanai West day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 03:30–11:30 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.
Chankanai West sits at latitude 9.76, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 23m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
