Today, Dec 21, at 12:04 pm, was the Winter Solstice. This makes today the shortest day of the year, and from now on, days get longer by a few seconds a day.
In London, the days are currently less than 8 hours long, as you see from the Astonomy data below

Yes, this means the sun comes up after 8:00, and sets before 4:00! It's depressing. And on cloudy days, which we have plenty of, they seem even shorter.
I'm looking forward to some longer days. Happy Winter Solstice!
