About the time in Sŏwi-ri
Sŏwi-ri 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.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Sŏwi-ri day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 00:00–08:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
Sunrise today lands at 05:55 and sunset at 07:25 local time, giving 13h 30m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (39.76, 125.70) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Sŏwi-ri.
