A German word that reflects the current doom / gloom in the UK:

Roughly translates to a "dark wind lull" or "dark doldrums". It describes a situation where there's minimal sunshine and wind for extended periods - meteorologists also refer to this as anticyclonic gloom.

Certainly another dunkelflaute day in the offing here, went out into the cabin in the garden to start work, misty rain, cloud and fog.

Apparently it can have a drastic affect on "green energy" production.

Still look on the bright side it is not cold so not having to use much energy on heat.
