To date, my August sunshine total has still to break 100 hours. Here's
the sunshine ranking of the months of 2008 to date, with August being
the first 26 days only:

204.8 h - June
186.2 h - May
184.7 h - July
157.3 h - April
145.0 h - February
107.1 h - March
*96.6 h - August (to 26th incl)
*73.7 h - January

So August has romped past January's total, still has some way to go to
reach March, and with 5 days to go, needs to average just under 10 h
daily even to equal February's total!

The August low record, 117 hours in 1968 (70 years' records for
Reading area), is looking vulnerable - needs just over 4 h per day to
make that.

Total 2008 to date 1155 h: in 2003 to end-August we'd had 1406 h, a
difference of just over an hour per day - every day.

These are spells that present negative anomalous behaviour in the
North Atlantic:

That last colum in each row placing the spell in its type.

There are more from last week perhaps there seems to be a measure of
that so called negativity in an erstwhile positive spell if the timing
is just right.

21:00 being a thundery spell and 21:16 making it a little more than
that unstable; possibly sending it over to the dark side?
