All the streetlights are on now and have been on for at least 10 minutes. Any room in the house is now in complete darkness. Just been out and its not very nice at all. Its wet, very dull and foggy in the distance. You can even see your own breath out there it feels like its 4pm in December. You know how when you see a crime thriller on tv the surroundings are often very depressing and gloomy (to add atmosphere). Well its just like that right now here.

It's very bright here. It's starting to feel like the day is never going to end.

Brrr... I just went outside to see what all the fuss was about and the air had a noticeable cooling effect on my skin. It was as though the entire mass of air in the vicinity of my house was gently moving sideways. Also, I can't see the Sun anymore as it's so low in the sky that it appears to have disappeared underground!
I hope it comes back tomorrow.

You're obsessed, mate. The world turns, very predictably I might add, and it's also tilted with respect to its orbital plane. It's been like that for a while now. Deal with it.
And no im not obsessed Joe. Im simply stating the facts. It doesn't take a genius to work out that if youre having to put a lamp on to read a book or simply see around the house, at 8pm, in northern england, in the middle of May, over an hour before sunset, then its going dark a lot earlier than normal for the time of year. I may also add that my room faces north west and at this time of year on a sunny evening it is lit up brighter than strobe lights in a nightclub. You certainely dont need a light on in there till well past sunset. Not like that tonight though. Tonight it was gloomier than the set of a gritty crime thriller. Theres more to it than just the earths rotation as you can see. |

Yes. We call it "night time". Welcome to planet Earth!
![]() https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twilight It may be like that on your planet but it certainely isnt on ours. There are 3 different stages of twilight before "night" here. Welcome to Planet Earth. ![]()

If you want to get technical about it at the time of your post it was actually civil twilight in most locations in the uk. It isnt "night" as soon as the sun goes down, we call it "twilight".

Welcome to Planet Earth. ![]() ![]() When the Sun comes up tomorrow, as you know, it won't be instantaneously daylight either. And as the morning progresses the temperature will gradually build, similar to how it does every. single. day. |

Perpetual daylight, yeah whatever, you still get at least 2 hours of astro twilight at the moment, I'd hardly call that "daylight". http://www.timeanddate.com/astronomy/uk/londonderry Btw, your daylength at the moment is about the same as ours is on the summer solstice, so I guess we down here in Northern England still experience "perpetual daylight" here too. ![]() ![]()

Stop trying to make us all envious and make us beleive that you get all the daylight all the time. It's as if you own the sun lol.

England may have somewhat similar daylight hours to us but our daylight is staggered more to the end of the day rather than the morning. |

I don't have astronomical twilight. I was in Stansted on Wednesday night and it was dark by 9:15.
