About the time in Sŏjil-li
Sŏjil-li 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.
Sŏjil-li follows the civil time used across its region of North Korea; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
Sŏjil-li sits at latitude 39.89, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 31m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
