About the time in Chipata
Sunrise today lands at 06:01 and sunset at 05:44 local time, giving 11h 43m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-13.63, 32.65) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Chipata.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Chipata 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.
