About the time in Kourou
Around 24,029 people live in Kourou, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Sunrise today lands at 06:26 and sunset at 06:41 local time, giving 12h 16m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (5.16, -52.64) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Kourou.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Kourou day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 12:00–20:00 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.
