About the time in Kinston
Around 21,677 people live in Kinston, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Kinston sits at latitude 35.27, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 14m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:36 and sunset at 07:50 local time, giving 13h 14m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (35.27, -77.59) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Kinston.
