A capital that did not see the sun for even one hour ... in December
No trace of the sun in Stockholm for more than 10 days
In light of the harsh Scandinavian winter with short days, several Swedish regions, including the capital, Stockholm, did not see the sun for even one hour in December, as the Institute of Meteorology's watch counter is still stuck at zero.
"Early December was cloudy, to say the least," said Linus Carlson, a climate scientist at the Swedish Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology.
On Thursday, day rose at 08.33 hours and darkness fell at 14:48 in the Swedish capital, but without any trace of the sun that Stockholm had not seen for more than 10 days, as no hour described as sunny had been recorded since the beginning of this month, while expectations For the coming days remain bleak.
On average, Stockholm records 33 hours of sunshine in December, with nearly an hour per day.
In light of the atmosphere already clouded in Sweden and the world by the pandemic, the Covid-19 epidemic has come to the "Light Festival" parties, a Swedish tradition that takes place annually on St. Lucia's Day on December 13th.
In 1934, Stockholm did not see the sun throughout December.
