That was a wonderful sunset, and the even better news is that tomorrow is the shortest day of the year in Birmingham, so from Tuesday days start getting longer again: http://www.ukweathercams.co.uk/sunrise_sunset_times.php?city=18&ts=1481473886 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the same every year so it's mostly luck that what you were taught 40 years ago has been correct this year, it can't be between the 20th and the 23rd, it is most commonly the 21st though, with the 22nd just behind.

I'm glad I was taught the most common shortest day! I'd be interested to see what proportion of shortest days fall on the 22nd and 20th. I imagine the shortest day falling on the 23rd is pretty rare. I also wonder if those dates are specific to the UK or apply to anywhere in the northern hemisphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 My knowledge on this topic is now completely exhausted One of them is incredibly rare and it was last the solstice about 300 years ago, but I can't remember if it was the 20th or the 23rd.
