The sunshine recorder turned on around 10 seconds after 5:30 this
morning. The earliest it has start recording sunshine this year (obviously but still indicative of the very clear conditions). Last night the recorder turned off at 21:05 (very clear conditions as well). If things remain as they are with cloudless, clear skies and say the recorder turns off at 21:06, then there will have been 15.63 hours of sunshine. That is a remarkable 95% of the total possible (the highest percentage I've recorded this year to date). It will not (and probably cannot) get better than that! -- Nick Gardner Otter Valley, Devon 20 m amsl http://www.ottervalley.co.uk |

Summer of '76, '75, '70 possibly? The summer monsoon has set in by now in most other years |

The summer monsoon has set in by now in most other years Haze and a few clouds to the north west late yesterday evening scuppered the sunshine. The recorder turned off at 19:41 giving a total for yesterday of 14.2 hours, that being only 86% of the total possible. Today has unbroken sunshine again so far but the sky is rather hazy so I doubt I'll see any record. Friday (20th) may end up being the day with the most sunshine of the year with 15.5 hours (94% of the total possible). Given the forecast, June sunshine should surpass 200 hours tomorrow. -- Nick Gardner Otter Valley, Devon 20 m amsl http://www.ottervalley.co.uk |

One of the most sensible things I ever did- though there's not much competition!- was to get a gas barbie. For 30+ years I struggled along with charcoal. The steep learning curve I expected never materialised. I was as hopeless at it this year as I was in the '80s. This brilliant spell has meant I've been using gas every evening-something virtually impossible with charcoal. I've got a perfectly serviceable 'Outback' charcoal barbie free to a good home-any takers? -- Nick Gardner Otter Valley, Devon 20 m amsl http://www.ottervalley.co.uk |
