About the time in Rotterdam
Sunrise today lands at 06:36 and sunset at 08:55 local time, giving 14h 19m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (51.88, 4.29) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Rotterdam.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Rotterdam day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 07:00–15:00 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.
Rotterdam runs on Europe/Amsterdam, which puts the city UTC +2 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
