"Days have slowly been getting longer since the winter solstice on December 21, when the North Pole is tilted farthest away from the sun. And while it's not great getting to and leaving the office in near darkness, in just over a month that will no longer be an issue, with the sun due to set after 5pm in London by February 8."
"According to experts, it will then take another five weeks for the sun to set after 6pm, with sunset times creeping back by nearly two minutes a day. By March 29th, London will get even lighter when the clocks go forward, and we revert to British Summer Time. It's basically spring already, right? Builder William Willett first proposed daylight saving time in 1907 -"
Days have been slowly lengthening since the winter solstice on December 21, when the North Pole tilts farthest from the sun. The sun is due to set after 5pm in London by February 8. Sunset will be after 6pm about five weeks later, with sunset times advancing by nearly two minutes per day. On March 29 the clocks go forward to British Summer Time, extending evening light further. Daylight saving time was first proposed by William Willett in 1907, reportedly to extend daylight for leisure activities like golf. Londoners can expect longer, brighter evenings and milder outdoor socializing.
