Meanwhile, some areas in northern France have sunshine hours of about 26 hours in the last month of 2017. Especially, at Lille, the number of sunshine hours in the first half of 2018 is only about 2.7 hours.
In Moscow, Russian people spent December with only 6 minutes of direct sunlight, breaking a record of 3 hours of sunshine in December 2000. Some people share a feeling that they are in a bad mood and have to go to a psychologist who is affected by the weather.
The French capital of Paris, where the average number of sunny hours in January is 62.5 hours, has only just received 10 hours of sunshine, after two-thirds of the month has passed.
"A star has been kidnapped. We have yet to see any signs from the Sun," wrote La Voix du Nord of France in the issue on January 14.

Health experts warn that darkness can lead to stress, lack of energy, sleep cravings and consumption of many sweet and fat foods in each person.
"When there is no light, we are slow, tired, which is a sign of seasonal emotional turmoil," said a person from Lille who spent $ 47 on light therapy, said.
According to weather forecasts, cloudy weather will continue to maintain, making the situation of darkness possible in the coming days.
