WTF UK: Deceiving Day Light

夏至が近い今日この頃。緯度が高いイギリスは本当に初夏の日が長いです。
この時期は東京の日没が7時ぐらいだけど、ロンドン近郊は9時半ぐらい。
日没の後も10時過ぎぐらいまで全然明るい。花火するなら11時以降だね。
まだ空が明るい間に布団に入るの、微妙。そして逆に12月は一日中暗いんだな、と思うと尚微妙。
夜9時でも、こんなに明るい。


Summer solstice is just around the corner and the day is LONG here in the relatively southern part of U.K. Sunset time is around 9:30 in London and it just does not get dark until way past 10.
The 4th of July fireworks would have to be scheduled around 11 pm at the earliest.

It feels funny to go to bed when it's not that dark outside. And it worries me a bit to think that it would be dark most of the day in December...
I can totally take a picture of the dog in the yard at 9 o'clock.
