Shortest day today

[firebobby]

At least we are heading back towards summer after today and the days will start to get longer :yeah:

Tmrw is a whole 3 seconds longer !!! Woohoo !!!

Slight understatement as it work out around 15 mins per day in the centre of the UK if we're looking at the earliest to latest sunset and sunrise.

Being a shift worker, I hate winter so much. It's great for sleeping when on night shift, but you literally see no sunlight which puts you in a strange state.

Bring on the sunny evenings again

Good to know - coming out the other side of the tunnel

3 minutes per day IIRC.

I think that's what kammy meant :roll:
15 mins sounds even better though
Just pleased that we are heading in the right direction

It sounds so small but adds up very quick. Try the artic circle and it moves in a few months from zero light to 24 hours - quite spectacular ...

Bitter-sweet for me, I like the fact its the shortest day & it heralds better, brighter times ahead but I also remember it’s the day I lost my mrs 16 years ago.
I suppose I should focus on the positives, but I’m usually a bit subdued today :|

The change in day length between successive days is not a constant throughout the year, the changes follow a sine curve with the summer/winter solstices at the top & bottom of the curve and the spring/autumn equinoxes halfway between.

The change in day length between successive days is given by the slope of the curve (calculus 'innit <sniff!>), so the difference between successive days is smallest around the solstices and greatest around the equinoxes

NB the amplitude of the sine curve varies with latitude, greatest at the poles and flattening completely at the equator

Simples.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Thank god , I hate winter can't wait for warmth dry roads no damp no condensation , bring it on

 

[Mikeyay]

It felt like the longest day at work for me today not the shortest......done now till 2018 though!

I guess that goes some way towards explaining the feeling of it getting light again surprisingly quickly. It’s getting lighter in the evenings and it’s getting faster at getting lighter in the evenings.

That's the only thing I like about Christmas - it means the shortest day has been and gone!

We still have to wait until 2nd of January, before the mornings start getting lighter though.

Oh no!

It looks like I'll just have to stick to my usual post-working hours getting up at 9.30ish - it isn't usually dark then.

Your missing the best part of the day. (Or is that the best part of the night) :? 8)
