The only other August in this series below 130h is 1912
(mentioned several times previously this month) when the
figure was just 94h. August 1879 may have been almost as
dull, but the only sunshine recorders in operation then were
at Kew and Greenwich. The lowest in relatively recent
times was 143h in Aug 1986.

Hi Philip, what was the E&W sunshine total for August 1968?

I have a figure of just 93.2hr for Coventry, but that was before my
time, so I thought I would check it out with you.

We also have low figures of 106.2hr in 1957, 110.7hr in 1956, both
below what is likely to be this year's August total.

Steve ... 147h ... Aug 1968 was such an odd month with huge
deficits in the Midlands, East Anglia and the Southeast, but with
plenty of sun towards the west. I'll dig out some more figures later.
