About the time in Madison
Sunrise today lands at 07:04 and sunset at 08:09 local time, giving 13h 06m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (30.47, -83.41) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Madison.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Madison 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.
Madison sits at latitude 30.47, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 06m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
