It doesn't surprise me that Ulster's lighter right now cos it's further north. Also, take a look at what it's like in Tromsų (69*N): http://www.amihotel.no/ami/english/w...el_tromso.html (note the snow!) |

Still not quite completely dark yet, there is still a blue tinge in the sky. That is looking towards the South as well, it'll be lighter towards the north and west.

12am in June.
http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w...s95bbtecw.jpeg But that's not that big a deal. In places like Wick it's pretty much bright all night. I think maybe 100 miles north of me and that would start happening. |

Check out these videos of Anchorage and Fairbanks in Alaska. It never goes dark at all. The sun sets for about half an hour then comes back up lol.

But does the sun actaully disappear behind the horizon at that time or does it set a bit earlier than that?

Our days are very long at this point, I think my sunset is about 10pm today. When it's sunny like today it feels like the day is never going to end. I don't think i'd be happy if my days were any longer say 11pm sunset, that would be too much.. |

It's dusk now and I've just seen (and heard) a flock of geese flying in a V shape. They were coming in from the South flying towards the North. Beautiful.

It doesn't get completely dark at anywhere North of 48.5 degrees lattitude around the June solstice, so all of the UK and other northern European countries have twilight all night.

Well unless it's civil twilight it still gets pretty dark. Even at my latitude in the deep of the night it's still very dark.
You couldn't go out walking anyway. |

You couldn't go out walking anyway. You could go walking, but you need streetlights of course. It's much more noticeable in Scotland, obviously. But all the major northern European cities- London, Brussels, Paris, Dublin Amsterdam, Berlin, Copenhagen, Stockholm etc. experience no real darkness this time of year to varying degrees depending on latitude. |
