About the time in Clifton
Clifton sits at latitude 38.78, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 24m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Clifton day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 13:00–21:00 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.
Sunrise today lands at 06:30 and sunset at 07:54 local time, giving 13h 24m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (38.78, -77.39) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Clifton.
