The article discusses the winter solstice in the UK, highlighting the phenomenon of shorter daylight hours and the anticipation for longer days. It details the shortest day of the year (December 21st), sunrise and sunset timings, and when noticeable changes in daylight duration will occur.
Did you know that there's a town in Norway just over 300 kilometres from the Arctic Circle where the sun never rises for three months of the year – in a phenomenon called the Polar Night? While this may sound drastic, here in the UK, it can sometimes feel like we aren't too far from our own Polar Night. Each winter, the days get shorter (and shorter and shorter). It can sometimes feel like we live half of our lives in darkness. We wake up, it's dark.
We head to the office, the sun seems to be thinking about rising. We work. We leave the office for our lunch break, it's grey. We work. We leave the office — oh, it's dark again. So, the question on all of our minds during these bleak, dark winter months? When does it start getting lighter? With the winter solstice fast approaching, we are nearing the shortest day of the year — yes, it's going to get worse before it gets better! Officially, days will start to get lighter after the winter solstice on 21 December, which is officially the shortest day of the year. Prepare for a very brutal day with just under eight hours of daylight — 7 hours 49 minutes and 42 seconds in London, to be precise. On 21 December, the sun is set to rise at around 8:04 am before dipping back below the horizon in the mid-afternoon, around 3:54 pm. Meanwhile, those of us that work from home will probably be reaching for our fluffiest blanket, our cosiest candles and our most comforting festive movies. (And who could blame us?) After the winter solstice, the days will (slowly) begin to get a little longer and lighter again. However, you probably won't really notice the difference until mid-February or so. By then, you may even catch a glimpse of the sun outside of your working hours. On 15 February, for instance, we'll get our first 10 hour day, with the sunrise due at 7:15 am and sunset expected at 5:16 pm. By March, we'll hit equilibrium, with 12 hour days and 12 hour nights
