About the time in Santiago
Santiago sits at latitude 20.44, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 41m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:16 and sunset at 06:57 local time, giving 12h 41m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (20.44, -98.53) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Santiago.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Santiago 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.
