About the time in Dickson
Sunrise today lands at 06:13 and sunset at 07:31 local time, giving 13h 18m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (36.06, -87.37) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Dickson.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Dickson 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.
Dickson sits at latitude 36.06, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 18m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
