Stockholm hasn’t seen the sun since early December
Many areas of Sweden, including the capital Stockholm, did not see the sun even for an hour this December, due to the harsh Scandinavian winter with short days, as the watch counter of the Institute of Meteorology is still stuck at zero point.
“At the beginning of December it was cloudy to say the least,” said Linus Carlson, a climate scientist at the Swedish Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology.
Last Thursday, dawn broke at 8:30 a.m. and darkness fell at 2:48 p.m. in the Swedish capital, but without any trace of the sun that Stockholm had not seen in more than ten days.
No sunny hours have been recorded since the beginning of this month, while expectations for the next few days remain bleak.
On average, Stockholm registers 33 hours of sunshine in December, with almost an hour per day.
In light of the already cloudy atmosphere in Sweden and the world due to the pandemic, the Corona epidemic came to the concerts of “Light Feast”, a Swedish tradition that is celebrated annually on Saint Lucia’s day on December 13.
In 1934 Stockholm did not see the sun at all in December.
