Sunrise today lands at 05:55 and sunset at 07:21 local time, giving 13h 26m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (38.42, 126.23) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Sŏhŭng-ŭp.

Sŏhŭng-ŭp sits at latitude 38.42, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 26m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
