Currently here at Southend-on-Sea 40.84 hours of sunshine.
5 days no sunshine recorded.
My last three year average is 77.5hours. (69.7hours including data
from papers)
And Southend data from newspaper (can't really compare) lowest
sunshine was 31 hours for January 1996. Still a week to go yet and the
days are getting longer.

Difference from 1971-2000 average...

Max +1.6°
Mean +2.0°c
Min +2.3°c

Rain 83% of average.

I still don't see temperatures being below normal for more than three
days next week.

As of this morning (Friday/230900Z), 24hr temperature anomaly here
+2.1degC. Rainfall just about up to monthly average at 96%. One thing
lacking this month (compared with last January): sunshine! We must be
heavily down on the bright-stuff whereas last year some places across
the SW'n 'quarter' of Britain had 150-175% anomalies.
