About the time in El Arenal
Sunrise today lands at 06:12 and sunset at 06:52 local time, giving 12h 40m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (20.12, -97.49) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in El Arenal.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal El Arenal day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 15:00–23:00 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.
El Arenal sits at latitude 20.12, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 40m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
