About the time in Dessalines
Sunrise today lands at 06:32 and sunset at 07:14 local time, giving 12h 42m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (19.26, -72.52) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Dessalines.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Dessalines day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 13:00–21:00 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.
Dessalines sits at latitude 19.26, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 42m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
