About the time in Washington
Sunrise today lands at 05:57 and sunset at 08:12 local time, giving 14h 14m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (50.90, -0.41) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Washington.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Washington 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.
Washington runs on Europe/London, which puts the city UTC +1 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.
