About the time in Palmerston City
Sunrise today lands at 06:56 and sunset at 06:42 local time, giving 11h 46m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-12.48, 130.98) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Palmerston City.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Palmerston City day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 23:30–07:30 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.
Clocks in Palmerston City stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC +9:30 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Australia.
