Here's a record this sun lover never thought possible. Copley has just
passed an unprecedented 300 hours sun in just one month!

Hows that compare to the theorectical maximum?

Just 10.3mm rain so far (but with heavy showers expected tomorrow)

We've had a few heavy showers today, 17mm clicked up.

Hi, Dave,

I recorded 16.1hr on the middle day of the month which I assume (in a
simple way) would give a theoretical max of 31 x 16.1 = 499.1 hours.
Thus my final total of 305.6hr is roughly 61% of that total. All
sunshine recorded by an R&D sensor btw.

Just 4mm today, that's the rain shadow again. Only 14mm for the whole
month!

Best wishes,
Ken
