About the time in Palmerston
Sunrise today lands at 07:08 and sunset at 06:43 local time, giving 11h 35m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-18.05, -163.19) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Palmerston.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Palmerston day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 19:00–03:00 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.
Palmerston sits at latitude -18.05, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 11h 35m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
