daylight savings 2020

Being out in the sunshine prevents Covids so the extra hour should help stop the spread.

In a time of universal deceit — telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

No evidence whatsoever it can be attributed to George Orwell or Eric Arthur Blair (in fact the same guy)

Extra afternoon hour when you are out in the yard, perhaps.

Me, it does not matter which hour the sun sets. I would usually be in the yard when the sun is about 15 degrees off the horizon. Too hot anytime else, except for the winter.

We had a topic about it somewhere. Maybe resurrect that, instead.

I really don't like DST but I'm kinda looking forward to it this year. Solar power at peak evening consumption.

I remember Mum and Dad delaying making dinner an extra half hour or more during daylight saving.

Nah... I can whinge now about it... don’t like and never have liked DLS.

Melbourne in lockdown won’t get much benefit from it.. 2 hours outdoor only. No saving of daylight or getting an extra hour!
It runs into news time, dinner time, and some of us like eating early not later to get to bed without having to sport a full tummy with food not digested properly,
Takes me 2 weeks to adjust to that bs DLS!
I’m considering going on strike and leaving my clocks at real time  Smiley

Back in 1991, I would watch the sun set on daylight saving time at after 8pm, I think a couple of weeks of the year in late December/early January, we would see the sun still out at 8:00pm. Even at that time of day, it could still be 35 degrees outside. An hour later, the temperatures can drop to 25 degrees. Imagine getting children to bed at 8:30 at night when the sun has just set.

People in Melbourne and Hobart would have later sunsets around 8:50pm on December 22nd. Even if we consider Victoria and Tasmania hardly getting anything resembling hot Australian weather for most of the year like we do in the north, it must be frustrating trying to cook dinners with the sun still out.
