'Apricity' is a word which describes the warmth of the sun in winter. It comes from the Latin word 'apricitas' meaning sunny.

Nearly every day during the winter there is a moment or a while when the sun glows and the warm sunlight comes racing towards you. This is the view from up the lane near us. It was a case of getting out there quickly as the conditions alter with alarming speed…

@dandylover1 The word is actually about real physical warmth. To feel the heat of the sun in the summer can be a most unpleasant thing. I mean I find the sun’s rays too strong and sunbathing is not an activity I enjoy. I prefer cooler climes. However the sun, when it appears in the winter and casts a warm glow on the landscape does something to lift the spirits. When I find it I stand in it. I bathe in it. It helps to nourish me and protect from the winter blues.
