I reckon we're about halfway between the dark of the winter solstice and the equal light of the equinox.
At the moment the split is about 9h 10m day and 14h 50m night, at our latitude. In about 45 days it will be a 12 hour split, and 45 days after that the current day/night ratio will be reversed.
So, in 90 days we gain about 5h 40m daylight, = almost 4 minutes extra per day, 25 minutes per week...
8 weeks and 4 days to f-c cricket in the intense heat of globally warmed England 2024.
To put it all into perspective, for Manchester there's a yellow weather warning later this week - SNOW.

Hopefully by the time the season kicks of we are talking sun, sol, soleil, sonne, sole etc, kicking out a bit warmth, calor, calore, chalore, varme, etc.
Who am I kidding, experience teaches us it's very likely to be a bit nippy in the Northeast Upper, that goes for all the other regions of the human anatomy.

Here it was as dark as it gets over Bill's Mum's house at 7-00 am this morning and that is now the norm. I loathe cold, dark, mornings - probably as a result of having to get up and go out to school in more northern latitudes.
There was much discussion at the FoodBank this morning about how the forthcoming snow would affect footfall .... half an inch of white stuff here and the world stops moving.
Roll on the season!!!
