Default A weeks unbroken sunshine.

The last week (Weds 31st May - Tuesday 6th of June) has been remarkble
for the amount of sunshine in west Cornwall. Apart from a little thin
high cloud on Sunday it's been close to the maximum possible. - Almost
ceratinly around 105 hours for the week.

If anyone can provide me with the figures for Falmouth for w/c last
Tuesday 31st May I would appreciate it (Philip / Roger?) - I realise
there's a few hours to go.

I know Falmouth recorded 46 hours Weds - Friday, approx 15 hours on
Saturday, 15.3 hours yesterday, making around 76 hours for those 5 days
alone.

If the figure is around 105 hours - which it must be, is that a new
record for a weeks sunshine in Cornwall?

A bit cooler here today after the exceptional warmth of the last 3
days, which all just topped 24C. Today a sea breeze, meant my max was
20.9 (24.2 yesterday), the lowest since 19.1 on Thursday. Right on the
seafront (PZ heliport) 23C yesterday, just 18C today. Still warm in the
strong sunshine.
