About the time in El Cajón
Sunrise today lands at 06:13 and sunset at 06:54 local time, giving 12h 41m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (21.36, -97.91) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in El Cajón.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal El Cajón 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 Cajón runs on America/Mexico_City, which puts the city UTC −6 from Coordinated Universal Time right now.
