As someone who moved to Norway. The only thing that's strange to me about the length of day/night... Is that we do daylight savings here.
Why? What help does it make adding one extra hour to the start of the day, when the day lasts like ~4 hours.
- latexr 2y agoCould be so the time is better synchronised with the rest of Europe, which is relevant for business reasons. I seem to recall reading recently about some other country doing exactly that (though it wasn’t Norway).
- madcaptenor 2y agoMexico used to have daylight savings even though they're close enough to the equator that it doesn't make sense - that's to harmonize with the US. When they did have daylight savings time, though, the state of Sonora didn't, because it borders Arizona, which doesn't.
- kevin_thibedeau 2y agoFor economic harmony with EU.
- matsemann 2y agoYeah, I hate it. I don't need more light in the morning, I'd rather have that as a bit more visibility when skiing after work. And it anyways only takes like two weeks before the gained light in the morning is gone. https://www.timeanddate.no/astronomi/sol/norge/oslo https://www.timeanddate.no/astronomi/sol/norge/oslo 25th of october day is from 08:21-17:39, 26th of october from 07:24-16:36 after dst, and then 17th of November we're at 08:19-15:43 (so back to dark mornings). I'd rather the 17th have light until 16:43.
