Why does autumn sun cause more glare?<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In summer, the sun sits high overhead for most of the day. Come autumn, it drops closer to the horizon, especially during your morning and evening commute. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That lower angle means sunlight hits your windscreen almost side-on, bouncing straight into your eyes. Add in wet roads, fallen leaves and low cloud, and you’ve got a recipe for glare that’s genuinely harder to deal with than a bright summer’s day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is why so many drivers notice more squinting, watering eyes and difficulty seeing road markings between September and November, even on days that don’t feel especially sunny. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
