Is it going REALLY dark where you are already?
So I'm in north west England, it's been a miserabole wet and gloomy day, like we've had all this November non-stop. And the street lights and even the main road lights are on and it's 3:30 pm... It's just soooo gloomy.
The light starts to fade these days at 2:00pm and at 2:30 I had to put my kitchen light on today. I can hardly see around the house, it's just like, shadows. And I'm not even that far north, I'm just north of Manchester. If it's this dark here what's it the in Scotland, or even as far north as the Shetland Islands? What's it like for you in the sunny south now? |

Street lights came on 3:15 - not yet completely dark - that'll be about 4pm.

I don't think I've ever known a November as dark and gloomy as this one...

I wouldn't necessarily say that just yet but it is very dull and rainy where I am right now. |

This November has been worst, each day has been dull grey and wet At least next month is the shortest day and it will get lighter after that ![]() I just can't wait until spring time and the light evenings again

Well I've just switched off the living room light, and I would not be able to read by what tiny bit of fading daylight is left outside.
I'm in the not so sunny South. |

Yes same here, when I got in the shower earlier I had to have the light on when I usually don't. I'm in NW too.

I'm enjoying the dark nights. A reason not to socialise, and a perfect excuse to crank the heating up.

It'll be a glacially slow process at first, speeding up by February.
We had to put the lights on at about 2.30, but that was because it was really cloudy. It's still not quite properly dark. |

I'm in the south and had my lights on at the time the thread was started. Curtain were pulled about half an hour ago. 3 1/2 weeks to go till the shortest day and it feels so dark so early already. Roll on spring. Thank goodness for Christmas to brighten things up. Whoever came up with the idea for a festival in the height of winter knew what they were doing.

Sunset starts getting later before the solstice, I read the other day. The sunrise carries on getting later till the solstice though. Just over 3 weeks and we'll start getting longer days.

It's still not quite properly dark. ![]() You can always tell in early spring Late Jan onwards that when it gets dark its like the dusk is being pushed away by the day and it struggles to get dark. There is some joy in that if that makes any senses lol By contrast from September onwards the dark and dusk comes down like a cold dark wet blanket snuffing out the daylight. |

All times are GMT. The time now is 08:21.



it has just gone 4pm and it's already getting dark. I so hate November, the most depressing month of the year, I've always hated it.
