About the time in Wellington
The zone identifier Europe/London is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Europe/London keeps pointing at London time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Wellington sits at latitude 52.13, in the temperate-north band, so day length here swings sharply between midwinter and midsummer — today's 14h 13m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Wellington 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.
