According to weather experts at various Meteos in Europe we have been missing sunshine this month. We think we had noticed! Apparently Brussels had only 10 hours sun in the whole of December (average is about 60 hours). In the first half of January, Lille has seen 2 hours 43 mins of sunshine and even here in the South west Toulouse basked for only 27 hours against an average of 92, with a similar score for Marseille. "Sunlight therapy" outlets are doing well in the north of France and here we are forecast plenty of sun towards the end of next week.
But spare a thought for the inhabitants of Moscow, where the meagre 6 minutes of sun in the whole of December has probably added to their legendary gloominess. At least they had Mr Putin swimming in freezing waters to encourage them - what price M Macron?
