About the time in Mato Fortes
Mato Fortes runs on Atlantic/Cape_Verde, which puts the city UTC −1 from Coordinated Universal Time right now.

If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Mato Fortes day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 10:00–18:00 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.
Around 153 people live in Mato Fortes, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
