About the time in Colombo
Around 246,540 people live in Colombo, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Sunrise today lands at 06:39 and sunset at 06:00 local time, giving 11h 21m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-25.30, -49.17) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Colombo.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Colombo 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.
