About the time in Palo Alto
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Palo Alto 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.
Sunrise today lands at 07:09 and sunset at 07:57 local time, giving 12h 48m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (25.63, -97.82) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Palo Alto.
Palo Alto is on daylight saving time at the moment, which is why the offset reads UTC −5 instead of its winter value. Clocks go back on 1 November 2026, and anything scheduled across that date shifts by an hour.
