If Philip (or anyone) has got any sunshine figures for Camborne

Falmouth for April so far - I'd be interested.


Up to the 18th:
Camborne CS 141.3
Camborne KZ 151.9
Culdrose CS 141.3
Falmouth CS 131.7 (not perfect exposure)
St Mawgan CS 149.0

Up to the 19th
Camborne KZ 164.9

A rare example of the KZ running ahead of the CS, as it has
the potential to do in a month containing many cloudless days,
and making a monkey of those who try to use a single
correction factor to estimate CS equivalents.

I hate the use of correction factors, whether it be wind, sunshine or
whatever. Much better to simply say what's been recorded and how.

Already 180h in parts of Kent

Thanks for that.

I think Camborne will be close to 176hrs by then end of today.
Camborne normally suffers from being under the sea breeze convergence
line, but with air so stable recently that simply hasn't happened.
