About the time in Kaohsiung
Kaohsiung sits at latitude 22.63, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 49m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 05:37 and sunset at 06:26 local time, giving 12h 49m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (22.63, 120.37) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Kaohsiung.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Kaohsiung day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 01:00–09:00 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.
