When I was pretty young, I attended a sleepover at a friend’s house. I have always been a light sleeper and woke up before anyone else … Only to get concerned and wake up a friend to ask why there was a giant spotlight in the distance.
To be fair, my parents covered every window in their house every night and the room in which I slept wouldn’t have had a good angle to see that directly anyway. He still looked at me like I was a dumbass before he answered, though.
Sunshine was last recorded in the city three weeks ago, on 21 January. This is the longest sunless period in the area since Met Office records began in 1957.
Residents of the Granite City finally glimpsed the sun late on Thursday afternoon.
And the Met Office confirmed that 30 minutes of sunshine, external was officially recorded in the Dyce area in the hour up to 16:00.
Maybe it’s just me but it’s felt like a particular bleak January and February this year.
Happy to see some sun even if that also comes with the start of allergy season.
I completely agree and relate to this to the point to where it feels uncanny, like as if I just read my own words. Past couple of months have been visually miserable and that does have an effect on mental health - Wake up, grey, midday, grey, barely existent sun goes down before you’ve even woken up properly.
And now the sun returns and it comes with bloody headaches and earaches and a dry throat. Earth, why do you make me suffer like this?
For about 90% of the country, this winter has been among the wettest on record.
3 counties saw their wettest on record (since 1837), 16 more had top 5 wettest and 41 more had top 10.
And just so people don’t think this is an outlier and not part of a wider trend:
For almost the entire UK, the wettest winter on record was within the last 15 years.
Cornwall has been an absolute swamp this January.
It’s crazy.
I’m doing laundry, and I don’t even have to hang it up in the bathroom to dry!https://www.bbc.com/weather/articles/c17x8v0jj00o
2025 has been the UK’s sunniest year on record
The Met Office has announced that 2025 has been the sunniest year in the UK since records began in 1910.
With two weeks of the year still to go, provisional data shows that 1622 hours of sunshine have been recorded, beating the previous record set back in 2003.
The Sun is white now btw. Weakening magnetic field and all that.
It always was “white”. Think about it. The color of the sun dictates what color white looks to us, so it can’t be a different color.
He’s out of line, but he’s right.
All 5 reform MPs are standing by to take credit.
I’m not so sure about that. Maybe you should look directly at it to check.
(Don’t look directly at the sun. It harms your eyes, you just don’t feel it due to a lack of the correct cells.)
I saw it! It must be a sign from the gods.
Something that hot and blinding must be a bad omen. Something dreadful is coming!
Oh I know something dreadful is coming, I have to go into the office today.
Sitting on my couch listening to a meeting
I’m sorry for your loss
Hopefully I will be able to hide in a corner after arriving over an hour late. Thanks cross country!
May the gods of darkness shroud you unseen
Don’t mind me. I’m just going to cut off a tiny slice of this blessing for myself.
Sanguine is the night, my brother.
“Idk but all of a sudden I have an urge to preform human sacrifice to make it stay…”
ooh, me, pick me, sacrifice me pls
As a Seattleite, I feel your pain.
lmao I moved from the 206 to the UK half a decade ago, and shit ain’t different
The big yellow thing is the sun!
