So, when it gets dark around 5pm, there are days when it’s much warmer the closer it gets to midnight, according to some people who work ouside. What is the explanation? 5 pm is closer to source of heat, the sun. How can it be fingers painfull cold around 5pm and way way way warmer as it gets closer to midnight? Shouldn’t it be consistently coldest around the middle of the dark period, (which is between 5pm and 6 am)?
