If you feel a little extra weight today, it is perfectly normal.
No day of the year is darker than this, when the so-called winter solstice occurs.
This means we have the shortest day and the longest night, because the earth’s axis tilts farther from the sun.
Now it only gets brighter, even if it’s slow.
– At first, it’s just a few extra minutes a day. Then the curve increases exponentially and, at most, during the spring, the length of the day increases by more than ten minutes per day, says Linnea Rehn, a meteorologist at SMHI, to the TT news agency.
It was an extra dark December
By the new year, the day has lengthened by five minutes in Svealand and Götaland, although the sun won’t rise at all in some parts of northern Sweden until January 10, he says.
Then it goes faster and faster in Norrland.
– Immediately after the winter solstice, there is not much difference, but during the spring, Norrland turns and runs away, says Linnea Rehn to TT.
Besides the winter itself being dark, December offered almost zero hours of sunshine in much of Sweden.
– It’s been many weeks now, so it’s almost a bit unknown to see the sun looking straight ahead, Kalmar resident Karl Westdahl told Expressen last week when he saw the sun in the picture.
