About the time in Meridian
Sunrise today lands at 07:00 and sunset at 08:06 local time, giving 13h 06m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (31.93, -97.65) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Meridian.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Meridian 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.
Around 1,493 people live in Meridian, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
