About the time in Mindelo
Sunrise today lands at 06:24 and sunset at 07:01 local time, giving 12h 37m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (16.89, -24.98) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Mindelo.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Mindelo 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.
Mindelo sits at latitude 16.89, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 37m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
