About the time in Rafai
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Rafai day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 08:00–16:00 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 05:17 and sunset at 05:33 local time, giving 12h 16m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (5.81, 24.20) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Rafai.
Clocks in Rafai stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC +1 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Central African Republic.
