The coordinates 34.94°N, 127.70°E put Gwangyang roughly 3878 km from the equator in the subtropics of the Northern Hemisphere, which is why the page expects warmer-half daylight that stretches noticeably in summer.
Today the sun rises around 05:40 AM and sets around 07:12 PM in Gwangyang — about 13h 32m of daylight. Südkorea stays on standard time here, so UTC+09:00 is stable through the year.
Kwangyang (10 km from Gwangyang) gives this page its nearest commuter and travel cluster, with 8 curated airport pages indexed for Südkorea.
Gwangyang planners should mark 2026-05-05 (Children's Day); that's the next national holiday signal in view.
