About the time in El Carmen
Sunrise today lands at 05:56 and sunset at 06:31 local time, giving 12h 35m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (17.20, -92.84) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in El Carmen.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal El Carmen 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 Carmen sits at latitude 17.20, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 35m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
