If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Pottakanda day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 03:30–11:30 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.
Pottakanda follows the civil time used across its region of Sri Lanka; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
Sunrise today lands at 06:02 and sunset at 06:20 local time, giving 12h 18m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (6.64, 80.43) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Pottakanda.
