9pm!! LOL. Englands sunsets are rubbish. Even I think my 10pm sunsets are too early.
Why is that rubbish/early? The sun may set at that time but it is still light outside considerably later than that. You are far closer to the Arctic circle than me, which shows in your awful/rubbish weather, I'd gladly take 45 minutes less daylight than live where you do!
I can't believe you guys are calling 10 pm sunsets "too early" and 5 am sunrises "too late"...
Try coming down here at 34 degrees latitude - current times are 6:25 am sunrise (earliest for the year) and sunset is at 8:45 pm (7 minutes shy of the latest sunset). And since I don't sleep well in the summer months, I often spend several waking hours in the darkness, and I often waste up to an hour of daylight napping in the afternoon for my lack of sleep at night...LOL So I would LOVE to have light till 10:30 or 11 pm, and have it be getting light before 5 - that'd be sweet.
As it is, I'm eager to experience the daylight at 47 degrees latitude north in mid-July in Upper Michigan (which is extreme for the continental United States) - it'll be an hour later than us for the sunset and about 20 minutes earlier on the sunrise (it'll be a 20-min shift west as well in solar time, from 1:40 pm to 2:00 pm). Hopefully, if it's cool enough, I'll be able to sleep from dusk to dawn, and experience no true darkness for a few nights.
Well shetlands have my ideal light.Except i'd shift them to 7west and have 11pm sunsets. It doesn't get dark there at all in high summer. They don't even have cival twilight.
I wasn't aware that Stockholm had such bright twilight.
That's nothing compared to Kiruna's 24-hour daylight, however.
I would love to experience that!
