La gente spesso dice “era molto più soleggiata quando ero giovane”.
Giocare con il grande feed di dati aperti di Met Eireann posso confermare che questo è spazzatura e il numero di ore di sole non è cambiato molto negli ultimi 70 anni circa.

Perception is a hell of a drug.
People, especially kids, were just outside more instead of on their couch looking at TikTok
It was way sunnier when I was young. We also had way more cloudy days.
I thought there was global warming, this is obvious right wing propaganda 😉
When you’re younger colours are more likely to be saturated. It makes sense your brain is more likely to retain the sunny fun days rather than the boring grey afternoons indoors
Am I having a heart attack?
People often look fondly on their younger days which leads them to believe *everything* was better.
2019 was a bad year
So, it’s always been this depressing. Got it! 
Aah but if you take that attitude you don’t get a few days worth of “it’s been fierce overcast, hasn’t it” headlines.
2020 had a fairly amazing streak, I remember the first month or so of covid was sunny literally every day
Honestly feel like people forget where we live? And that this is our weather? And it mightn’t ever change? But then I myself remember where we live and remember everyone will always complain about it
It’s Ireland and it’s winter. It’s like this every single year.
When the sun’s out, you’re more likely to get moving, to explore, and make memories. When it’s overcast, you end up stuck inside, bored and restless.
You think it was sunnier when you were young because sunny weather is more conducive to making memories.
It’s just that as kids we had 3 months off every summer so we could go out and enjoy any sunshine.
As adults we are stuck in work and don’t get to see it so much.
Is this one of those “squint your eyes to see a hidden message” yokes?
Climate change in one chart.
people just spent longer outside then – im always behind some screen for work 8hrs instead of outside doing work. Most days I don’t even notice the weather or if it was lashing half the day
I just look back on the Summers in the mid 90s and I remember being on the beach every day. Obviously it wasn’t that good, but I think I had good Summers as a child. 93,94 &95 were definitely great.
I doubt that “hours of sunshine” is the same metric as hot and sunny summer days 🤷♂️
This is violently ignoring the fact we get an extra day of rain every single Fucking week now compared to the 80s. Also wind – storms – wind wind wind every fucking day
That’s sunlight at Dublin airport. The sunlight detector must be confusing the airplane lights as sunshine because it was sunnier in the past.
I’ve never heard anyone say that. Except Tom but he grew up in Florida. He did say it was tough to deal with the weather here the last time I talked to him. He also said something about ‘goodbye’ and ‘cruel world’.
If I could remove any phrase or abstract concept it would be “the good old days” because nostalgia is one hell of a thing for forgetting reality
Sooooo, you are denying climate change now father, …?????
It was warmer and the weather wasn’t flipping the country upside-down

You miss 100% of the sunny hours you don’t go outside – Wayne Gretzky – Michael Scott
I’m having trouble reading this graph, are the down lines winter in the year ?
