About the time in Cork
Sunrise today lands at 06:27 and sunset at 08:46 local time, giving 14h 19m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (51.90, -8.47) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Cork.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Cork day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 08:00–16:00 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.
Cork is on daylight saving time at the moment, which is why the offset reads UTC +1 instead of its winter value. Clocks go back on 25 October 2026, and anything scheduled across that date shifts by an hour.
