About the time in Machala
Machala sits at latitude -3.29, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 01m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:22 and sunset at 06:23 local time, giving 12h 01m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-3.29, -79.94) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Machala.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Machala day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 14:00–22:00 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.
