Gosh, it’s dark outside at 2.20pm!

I'm in Cumbria and the sun's shining (though for how long - who knows?)
The forecast says snow!

Brightening up quite a bit in N Norfolk, in fact other than on really dull wet days I’ve started to notice the evenings drawing out a tiny bit.

Gloomy in Oxfordshire, but it was even gloomier yesterday at this time of day.

Ok today but I was surprised at how early it got dark yesterday. Maybe that’s why I’m in hibernation mode.

Bright blue skies in central Scotland at the moment. It is unusual as I'm used to gloom.

In Glasgow we have the blinds down because of the blazing sunshine.

It was here on the Wirral before but it's brightened up now showing some blue sky.

S W Wales and it’s dark here too. Can’t see the clock on the opposite wall. Still we are past longest night. Roll on spring

It is dull and overcast here in south Denmark and will be getting dark in about forty minutes here, as we are on continental time: GMT+1,

Bright blue sky here in Scottish Borders. Maybe the snow makes everything look lighter...

Dull & gloomy in London @ 14.45.

Teacheranne can you not put on some small lamps to give light - don't be drawing your curtains so early in the day!

Quite bright here in West Midlands at the moment.

Dark here with snow clouds looming. I hate winter. I usually eat and drink my way through it but not this year Dry January and Slimming World for me I'm going to have to tough this one out.

Here in West Oxfordshire it’s very gloomy and grey at 3 pm.

Maybe you're in for some snow, Teacheranne!

Need lights on here in Dorset. Gloomy and wet.

It's been a fairly bright day in south west Northumberland. Cloudy with sunny intervals. It is cold though, the temperature outside hasn't risen above 1°c.

Thanks Teacheranne your darkness has just reached here. All of a sudden we've plunged into semi darkness and the sky had changed to a kind of iron-greyness which is quite eerie.

Grey, grey, grey and cold on the south coast. We did get a burst of sunshine at midday which I only noticed because I was doing my bit for recycling at the bottle bank while smugly congratulating myself that three months worth of empties only filled two carrier bags!

It's just started chucking it down.

Blue sky still in E. Yorkshire.

Same as merlotgran in S. Hampshire, raining, side lamp was on at 3, it’s cold too as I just had to go out.

I withdraw my earlier comment, well it was true at the time, but by 3.00, it was even gloomier than yesterday.

Gloomy but daylight still in Lincs.

Dark and raining cats & dogs down in Worthing, West Sussex☔️??
