About the time in Wellington
Sunrise today lands at 07:05 and sunset at 08:22 local time, giving 13h 17m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (34.85, -100.21) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Wellington.
Around 2,189 people live in Wellington, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Wellington day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 14:00–22:00 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.
