About the time in Francistown
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Francistown day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 07:00–15:00 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.
Sunrise today lands at 06:28 and sunset at 05:57 local time, giving 11h 29m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-21.17, 27.51) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Francistown.
Francistown sits at latitude -21.17, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 11h 29m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
