About the time in Chingola
Sunrise today lands at 06:19 and sunset at 06:04 local time, giving 11h 45m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-12.53, 27.88) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Chingola.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Chingola day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 07:00–15:00 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.

The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
