About the time in Compton
Compton sits at latitude 41.69, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 35m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:12 and sunset at 07:46 local time, giving 13h 35m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (41.69, -89.08) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Compton.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Compton day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 14:00–22:00 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.
