Technically yes but as they are an hour ahead of us so it Is actually later. Being further South though once it starts going dark in France it will go dark quicker than in the UK as it is further South.

It is indeed dark where I am right now.

No. Sunset in Paris is at 7:54pm UTC, in London it is around 8:17pm utc.

Yes, but neither France nor the UK is on GMT (or UTC).

Time is relative.

If you work from 9-5 and wake at 7am, go to sleep at 11pm, on your timezone, you will experience more sunlight in Paris than in London. Fact.

Cool.

Still sunny here at 10:00pm which is very good. Sunset is at 10:08pm.

This miserable rainy weather we're having at the moment is certainely making it seem a lot darker at night than it should be at this time of year. It's not staying light much beyond 10pm..

10:20pm today: https://goo.gl/photos/8mg4YzPYWqMgecGx7

lol. I went upstairs to my landing and surprisingly it's still kinda bright, I expected it to be darkish by now.

it went dark here and then light then dark again, Oh no wait, i was blinking.

It is not called night in my neck of the woods. According to timeanddate,com it dont get darker than astronomical twilight. And heres me thinking that it was night. But nope. Its astronomical twillight til around july 27

If you are going to ibiza then it is proper night, But blackpool or scarborough then it is astro twillight or nautical or civil if you go to scotland.

I have nautical twilight all night and honestly it's dark unless it's clear skies.

Alough it is true that the UK doesn't have true "Night" at this time of year, it's still pitch black by midnight most nights. Usually by the end of Nautical Twilight it's fully dark anyway unless you have a very clear night, then you might see a very faint glow towards the northern/western horizon during astro twilight.

At the moment here the sun is dipping no lower than 13 degrees below the horizon which is just in the astro twilight range (12 degrees is the borderline between nautical and astro twlight) but we've not had many clear nights lately so by 10:30pm it's very dark (dark blue sky), it's completely pitch black by about 11:30.

10:20pm now and it's gone pretty dark again. I don't know about you but this year the days definitely don't seem as long as this time last year.

It's getting dark at 10pm and it's pitch dark by 11pm. Doesn't help that the evenings have been so cloudy and rainy lately, I haven't seen a sunset for weeks...

I remember last summer I was lying in bed at 11:30pm and there was still a bright glow in the north west. Not like that this year

Last year it was twilight till midnight and even then I remember there was a very deep blue tinge in the sky. Beautiful. Not like that this year

I remember last year even in May marvelling at how the twilight was still in the sky so late, but frankly this year, I'm disappointed.

Worse thing is it will be the solstice in a weeks time and then we will be on the long descent back to December. It will soon all be over

It's felt quite wintery today as well. Certainly not June Weather. Most people wearing jackets/coats. Might as well call it a day for summer and put the clocks back, jam the heating up, shut the curtains and put the lights on.

It's still sunny where I am!

At 1 in the morning?? Now you're just showing off....

It's been peeing it down here all day and I've had to have my light on for the past hour, a whole 2 hours before sunset time (9:45pm). It's getting really gloomy now, streetlights will be coming on soon I expect.

Longest day tomorrow, then after that we are on our way back to Winter.

Not that the weather is Summery currently though, it's been grey and rainy pretty much all day. It's getting quite dark now, streetlights been on since 9:45pm.

Looking at the sky right now it could be 10pm on the longest day or 4pm on the shortest day if you didn't know the time of year, though the weather is definitely more like the latter.

I read your posts in the voice of Marvin, the paranoid android from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Life? Don't talk to me about life.

Sunset is only 8:30pm where I am right now. Though tomorrow back home it will be 10:13pm.

Not going to help my jetlag..that's 5:13pm here.

8:30pm.. WoW.. Bet you're enjoying that

It's still light here and it's nearly 9pm

So, the longest day of the year has finally arrived..

My sunrise is 04:37am and sunset is 21:44pm.

What's yours?

Mine is:

Sunrise: 4:46 AM
Sunset: 9:25 PM

That sucks balls...

It's still fully light here, clear sky as well on longest day so hopefully sky will stay light till midnight fingers crossed.

The exact time of the summer solstice is 11.34 p.m. BST.

The evenings do not start drawing in for another week

So 25 June is the first night of an earlier sunset

Yes of-course, I realised that when I saw your thread after posting my original comment so edited it!

I am more in tune with the winter solstice myself. I guess I'm just a bit too keen to see the darker evenings return.
