Londoners have had a slightly temperamental few weeks weather-wise, with temperatures all over the place. But t-shirt weather lunchtime walks are (hopefully) on their way back, and the days of cranking up the heating and shivering away while you work are (almost) a thing of the past. Yup, the future is looking bright, folks.
That being said, the sun is still disappearing a bit too early for our liking (6:20pm today, for example). But next weekend, our luck is about to change.
For the first time since September 24 (more than six bloody months), the sun will set after 7pm. Sunday, March 30 is the hallowed day, so get those barbecues out now, because we know the only way is up from here. We may have to lose an hour of sleep when the clocks go back, but if that speeds up the process of late sunsets, then we’re all for it.
According to tracking site Time and Date, the sunset time will jump from 6:29pm on March 29 to 7:30pm (!!) on March 30. Then, by April 17, we’ll be into the 8pm territory. Meaning after-work-drinks-in-the-sun season is well and truly full steam ahead. What a lovely thought.
