A bit cloudy again
It's cloudy again. 6 okta CuSc.
Here in the Chilterns this fine spell has, Monday apart, been
much cloudier than the TV forecasts have given credit for.
It last rained on the 8th. Since then the daily sunshine totals
have been:
9th nil
10th 5.6
11th 0.1
12th 0.5
13th 4.7
14th 7.8
15th 6.4
16th 7.6
17th 11.8
(These figures are from a Campbell-Stokes recorder
which over-records sunshine on days of broken cloud)
It doesn't actually seem much different in London, as
the following figures from Hampstead (electronic recorder)
indicate:
9th 1.2
10th 6.4
11th 0.1
12th 0.3
13th 5.1
14th 7.7
15th 7.2
16th 7.7
17th 10.1
This morning's forecast (viewed, not heard)
seemed to indicate unbroken sunshine, which
it ain't.
