About the time in Maranhão
Sunrise today lands at 05:41 and sunset at 05:52 local time, giving 12h 11m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-5.00, -45.00) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Maranhão.
Around 7,075,181 people live in Maranhão, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Maranhão 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.
