I hadn't got to adjusting for the new sunrise/sunset times, it's a shame that Tahiti no longer works. You're absolutely right, thanks for warning me. I had assumed it would be fine - I was thinking, "It should actually be easier, because the sunrise would be earlier in March than January, allowing more time in the morning before the snap." I didn't consider about the U.S. having daylight savings and Tahiti not, and Tahiti's days getting shorter heading into March because it's in the Southern Hemisphere. You're right, and I think 12:24 is indeed the answer. My in-universe explanation for it being 11:24 rather than 10:24 was that perhaps they were recently a bit further west and hadn't yet corrected the time. We can still kind of take that - Fury does a lot of travelling across the U.S., perhaps it was at some point recently in a time zone further west, and he just hasn't bothered to correct it yet.

Sure, I'd be interested in your rough breakdown. I'm in the midst of updating and refining the exact timings of the scenes but haven't quite got to that point yet, so if you want to demonstrate how it gives things a little bit more time to play out, for example, that would be good to see ahead of time. Well, in this interview [], Clark Gregg says that he thinks the season ends in the moments leading up to, or during, the battle of Wakanda. While it may or may not be accurate, it fits with my conclusion.

I went with the earliest possible sunrise and latest possible sunset of the year, so Tahiti 05:13 (using Papeete), Wakanda roughly 18:30 to 18:40 or so.

If you want to keep the daylight realistic for Tahiti, then let's say it's at least 10 minutes after sunrise by the time Coulson steps out of the Quinjet.

Going with the earliest possible sunrise of the year, the final scene of AoS 5x22 is at 05:16-05:25 Tahiti/17:16-17:25 Wakanda (a few minutes before the Avengers arrive in Wakanda). In this case, going by Eastern Standard Time (using BEJT's post):

07:16-07:21: Events at Talbot's house.

07:34: Robin tells Talbot that the gravitonium is in Chicago.

07:45: Talbot arrives in Chicago.

07:46: The team finds out that Talbot is in Chicago.

08:06: The team arrives in Chicago.

08:25: Ending of Chicago events.

11:16-11:25: Tahiti.

11:30: Arrival at Wakanda.

Going with the sunrise of March 29, then 06:06-06:15 Tahiti/18:06-18:15 Wakanda.

08:06-08:11: Events at Talbot's house.

08:24: Robin tells Talbot that the gravitonium is in Chicago.

08:35: Talbot arrives in Chicago.

08:36: The team finds out that Talbot is in Chicago.

08:56: The team arrives in Chicago.

09:15: Ending of Chicago events.

12:06-12:15: Tahiti (this is during the battles in Wakanda and Titan, so it's up to you how to place these events in relation).

I'd personally go with the first option (earliest possible sunrise) as Talbot's son would presumably have school that day if it is Thursday, meaning it would be earlier in the morning.

However, the closer Infinity War gets to June, the more likely it is that this won't work, as the time difference between Tahiti's sunrise and Wakanda's sunset would then be at 11:30 hours, which is why I suggested ignoring the accurate daylight times as a possible alternative if things become problematic. No need to do that as of yet though.
