It’s getting close to the time where the same amount of daylight hours will be the same as the amount of hours of darkness which heralds the autumnal equinox drawing nearer.

It’s become increasingly obvious that evenings and mornings are drawing in and now there’s less than a month to go until daylight savings ends and our clocks go back one hour.

There’s been an argument in recent years about the extension of our summertime hours to April as it makes the mornings quite dark around the nation (similar to late May or early June), as we did have a cut off point in mid March initially but that was moved out 3 weeks to early April in the last few years.

There doesn’t appear to be the same concern about the evening daylight extension with some believing we should have daylight saving 12 months of the year however one example is that Southlanders would discover the sun would’t rise until after 9am on a July morning if that was the case. 

Many countries around the globe now have more than six months of daylight saving a year.
