Britain has experienced an unprecedented spell of 'anticyclonic gloom', with some areas seeing no sunshine at all in the first ten days of November, leading to significantly lower daylight brightness.
According to the Met Office, regions in England like Odiham and Saint Helier reported zero sunshine in early November while Scotland stood out with an impressive 35 hours.
The phenomenon known as 'anticyclonic gloom' results from a cool area of high pressure trapping moisture above the land, creating grey skies and limiting sunlight exposure.
The Met Office identified this weather pattern as depressing, indicating it is caused by high pressure trapping moisture, leading to conditions described by travel writer Bill Bryson as akin to 'living inside Tupperware'.
