About the time in Key West
Key West sits at latitude 24.56, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 52m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 07:04 and sunset at 07:56 local time, giving 12h 52m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (24.56, -81.78) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Key West.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Key West 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.
