About the time in Eastern Province
Sunrise today lands at 05:57 and sunset at 06:19 local time, giving 12h 22m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (8.61, 81.20) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Eastern Province.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Eastern Province 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.
Clocks in Eastern Province stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC +5:30 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Sri Lanka.
