Looking forward to the 'clock change weekend'. All of a sudden it seems like there's too much daylight and it's only 3 months until the longest day of the year!0

10 mins a week (ish) lighter not to be sniffed at
All lies and jest..still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest....0 -
I was looking back through my photos and was please to see the date stamp on this one (April) , as in my mind it was taken during summer! Roll on...

Sunrise is getting a minute earlier each day according to my Garmin.I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.0

Summer solstice is 21 june with sunrise at 5.14am i believe Giantmike 'Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts'.0 -
British Summer Time starts Sunday 25th March.
Well, that's when the clocks change anyway. It's anyone's guess when summer will actually begin.0 -
If you lookee here you can see that around now days are currently lengthening by around 1m 50s per day and that rate of change is currently increasing by 5-6 seconds per day, which is brill whichever way you look at it.
I've had disagreements over this with people who've claimed that once we hit the Winter solstice daylight starts to increase by around 3mins per day. No way - it's a gradual change change in rate from December (and June) when the day lengths stop changing, all the way to the max rate of change in March & September when it increase to around 4mins per day difference and then turns round to reduce the rate of change back to zero.
Anyway. It's not so dark out of my window here at 4:15 as it was over Christmas, which is a good thing.0 -

what is interesting looking at that chart is that the day doesn't increase at both ends by the same amount, the day lengthens more by sunsets than sunrises. The opposite applies after June, when the days shorten by the mornings. Ok it's not much but it's a win/win situation all the same.
The older I get, the better I was.0 -
its mostly sine waves as can be seen clearly here. the rate of change is a sine wave also. the length of twilight has an effect .
