About the time in Hastings
Sunrise today lands at 06:50 and sunset at 05:40 local time, giving 10h 50m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-39.64, 176.85) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Hastings.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Hastings day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 21:00–05:00 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.
Hastings is on standard time today. The next clock change is due on 27 September 2026; meetings booked either side of it are the ones worth double-checking.
