Did I move the hands on the clock face the wrong way?
I'm sure that dusk has arrived earlier since moving to
BST, and today, the interior lights were on by 3:30pm.

Thundery looking sky (creases in gunmetal grey Sc/Ac
undulatus) preceded two outbreaks of heavy rain from
1440Z to 1530Z, measuring 3.5mm. No thunder heard.

It certainly felt like that earlier in the afternoon, I didn't think
it was possible to go that gloomy with the sun as high in the sky as
it would have been - though for the past hour and a half or so it's
definitely been noticeably lighter than under GMT. Only now starting
to feel as if it's going dark, and even that's earlier than it should
be (sunset is just after 1930 BST apparently).
