About the time in Colombo District
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Colombo District day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 03:30–11:30 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 06:03 and sunset at 06:22 local time, giving 12h 19m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (6.87, 80.02) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Colombo District.
Colombo District sits at latitude 6.87, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 19m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
