It's 6pm and the sky looks like this (pic).

I remember it's usually pitch black by 4pm this time of year. AIBU to think it's odd?

Even in John O'Groats (far north of Scotland) on the shortest day, Sunset might be at around 3:20pm, but Dusk isn't until gone 4 o'clock.

Its the very latest date to set the clocks back this year- Halloween- so I guess that may have confused people. It can vary by a week

It's getting fairly gloomy here at 4.40 pm, but it's also a grim afternoon.
