About the time in Kanggye
Kanggye sits at latitude 40.97, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 36m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 05:48 and sunset at 07:25 local time, giving 13h 36m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (40.97, 126.59) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Kanggye.
Kanggye runs on Asia/Pyongyang, which puts the city UTC +9 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.
