In the UK, it generally starts to get dark earlier as the seasons shift toward autumn. Specifically, the noticeable earlier darkness begins around late September, shortly after the autumnal equinox, when day and night are approximately equal in length. After this point, the days continue to shorten gradually until winter. Since today's date is September 21, 2025, this is just around the time when the days start to get noticeably shorter and it begins to get dark earlier in the UK.
