About the time in Colchester
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Colchester day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 12:00–20:00 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 06:23 and sunset at 08:08 local time, giving 13h 44m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (45.33, -63.25) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Colchester.
Around 50,000 people live in Colchester, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
