holy shit Dublin doesn't even have nighttime from May 15 to July 30. it's astronomical twilight all night
Many people forget how far north Europe is because of the mild climate we have. Like countries like Ireland and Netherlands are as far north as Newfoundland. And these two countries rarely get heavy snowfall like Newfoundland. And Saint Tropez is on the same latitude as Vermont.
NYC lines up with Greece.
It's pretty scary when you think about it: Europe's mild climate seems to be extremely fragile, dependent on the aligning of a few major forces.
Those few major forces are slowly weakening. We'll have Canadian winters in Europe. Which, hey, I missed snow but also the gas prices in England will have me "wake" up frozen dead one morning
Also we’ll get proper snow cover again in the Alps for skiing though I doubt we can ski much if we get winter hurricanes
So the English went pretty far south to wind up in a frozen hellscape with what are basically hurricanes but with snow
Okay the city I live in has pretty much the same graph, and speaking from experience it's not as bad as you'd think at first glance. It's still dark at night, just for fewer hours.
Wait wtf‽
