About the time in San Francisco
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal San Francisco day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 15:00–23:00 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 06:27 and sunset at 07:13 local time, giving 12h 45m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (23.65, -102.04) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in San Francisco.
San Francisco sits at latitude 23.65, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 45m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
