About the time in El Centro
El Centro sits at latitude 18.29, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 37m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:28 and sunset at 07:05 local time, giving 12h 37m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (18.29, -71.19) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in El Centro.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal El Centro day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 13:00–21:00 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.
