The changing daylight hours thread

[matt111]

With the clear sky it's still light at 6pm. A bit lighter than it was when I posted yesterday.

The days are now longer than the nights for some parts of the country

All parts join in by tomorrow

PS

One week till BST

[Mokidugway]

Thank god , it's been a depressing winter

You can see how much the change of the location where the sun sets around the equinox from one day to next by the telegraph pole.

Welcome the British summer time 

The good times are back

Farewell GMT

Getting up this morning for work was utterly rotten, alarm clock at 4.45am was really 3.45am.

Why we don't just leave the clocks on one or the other Ill never know.

If we left it at GMT we'd have absurdly early mornings (light at 3am anyone?) in summer, but if we left it at BST we'd have very dark mornings in winter. I don't think anyone would like either!

[Mokidugway]

It is nice to wind the sun on an hour

Interesting reading, the further north you go, the more daylight you'll get.

I cannot wait. Not a fan of these light nights at all.

Why? Because they don't share your views of what's good?

I really despise the attitude of "You don't agree with me, therefore you're miserable". Some of us actually do like the dark evenings.
