    Maybe so but you don't get the effect really to late August so plenty of time yet for the lovely long light evening's would be better still if the sun could get out

    Ahh, what a shame that it will still be another 5 weeks after that until sunset is 8:30pm.. so we have about 3 months of daylight at least this long :)

    Psychological, isn't it.

    Once the solstice has been and gone that just leaves July to get through.

    After that's over the countdown to shortening daylight can really begin.

    No one really needs light after 8:30pm so August is the time were it is noticed, not June.

    Despite 'shorter' days after June 21st, the day only gets shorter by about an hour if that after the first month (until end of July).

    It's far too early to be bothered about losing the light yet so calm down!

    More unfortunate news half related though, plans to abolish the infamous GMT and stay on constant GMT+1 (BST) all year round have been scrapped for some reason and therefore we will still have to rewind our clocks by one hour in October, despite the fact it was expected to be abolished last year.

    'Infamous GMT'? How sad that one of our lasting legacies to the world is viewed in this manner. BST would no long be BST but CET. We might as well adopt the Paris Meridian while we're at it - in France they celebrated the millennium with a 600 mile picnic along the length of la Meridienne Verte. We're more concerned about having to change clocks twice a year.

    Unfortunate news? That's excellent news as far as I'm concerned!

    As GMT is in synchronicity with the sun I would hardly call it infamous. If anything B.S.T is infamous as it's the tinkering with the clocks in spring to try and make the night go away which means we then have to tinker with them again in autumn to get back to GMT again, a quite ludicrous process which was introduced about 100 years ago so that agricultural workers could work long into what shoud have been the night in an effort to increase their productivity.

    I may spearhead a campaign to remain on GMT throughout the year so that we all live by 'sun time' as nature intended.

    I agree in principle we should run by sun time but it's too culturally ingrained that for most people, noon is no where near the middle of their waking day. Good luck changing it though!

    I think the concept of 'joking' is severely lacking on Netweather at times!

    Yeah, summer 2012 will probably be dull and boring, bring on winter and let the real weather begin (the heat lovers can go to Spain or Poland or Murmansk!) blum.gif
