June 21st - darkest day
 
As I understand it after the darkest day the days start to get lighter and
we can look forward eventually to Spring and Summer and lovely sunny
weather.

Can't wait.

Eh? June 21st is the lightest day, but I suppose you are joking.
No sign of summer here.
Threw it down all day.

Surely the longest day? Or equinox (day and night are equal in length).

As you say though, no sign of summer.

2013 is going to be a good year, we all hope.

Don't mind the rain though feel sorry for those with events planned.
Personally I prefer excessive wet to excessive heat :)

Sorry. It's been banned under EU austerity measures.

I think you will find that it is merely the longest day :-(
It was as dark as winter yesterday, and the mornings are incredibly gloomy.
Monsoon predicted to go on for another couple of weeks.
Which should take us up to/past the 21st.

And the implication is that on June 21 it will simply rain for longer.

Good point, Jake.
Rain through equal days and equal nights.
Not just the rain that gets me down, it's the cool, almost cold June.

On the other hand the coarse fishing is really good. The predators such as
pike and perch are huge this year presumably because the prey are slow and
easy to grab. Perch is the most delicious fish, bar none.

Sorry to go off topic(again)

It's not just gloomy and dark. It's flippon' cold. Here in the SE the
temp today at 13.00 was 11³C, and is forecast to fall tonight to 5³C.
That's like early March. Too cold for my outdoor tomatoes.

Pike are also very good eating, just take a bit more time to prepare.
