Opposite country to the UK?

I also go off the boil this time of year. Is there another country that stays light between 6am and 6pm this time of year that also has temps of between 12-19oc?

6pm? You're joking. It's nearly dark here now!

6 PM?

It is dark where I live in Berkshire.

As you get to the equator, seasonal variations tend to deminish. So year round daylight is approx 6 am to 6 PM and temperatures change little between seasons.

I'm presently sitting in Medellin Colombia. You get a solid 12 hours a day of sun and temperatures are a nice 20-30 year round. As it's 1500m up in the Andes you don't get the hot summers you get on the coast..

It's too depressing - playing around with that map trying to find somewhere in the world that humans haven't fked up.

Not being very successful.

What a mess.

Waits for 'U ok Hun'.

There is

You could live anywhere near the equator and get daylight 6am to 6pm all year, the down side is you don't get long evenings in the summer!

The only option is to live in the UK in summer and for winter migrate to somewhere as far south as we are north - the only land that far south is the Falklands or the bottom of Argentina/Chile so it's not a perfect plan!

Malta is my "go to", but it won't quite manage 6-6!

Anywhere equatorial is pretty much 12/12.

Personally I'd choose Aruba.

Yep, lights go on at about 05;30 and off again at about 18:30.

Year round, a bit of variation; maybe 10 mins either way.

Surely ( not Shirley ) it has to be the lands of Antipodea?

The land of the long white cloud?

Noo Zealand, innit?

Singapore and Malaysia use Hong Kong time, so sunrise is 7am to 7pm, personally i find this easier on my body clock than 6-6.
I can sit on the beach with a beer until 7.45 pm.

Good few options there cheers guys

Not really. Seasons innit.

The Canaries. I went in February 2010 for a field trip and stayed in Las Palmas. Low 20s during the day, high teens at night. It was really pleasant.

Got in the local rag too:

I've spent some time in tropics..where there is not much variation in hours of daylight.
I missed the long Summer evenings in UK

Madeira? Bit rainy but warm rain, sunrise at 7, sunset at 6.

Lovely people and food.
