Total sunshine hours for the month is 85 with 7 days remaining, average is
125 hours, at this rate we won't get to 100 hours.

End of rant from DULL Weston Coyney.

Well, if it's any consolation it has been annoyingly cloudier here for the
last few days than anticipated. Lots of low cloud and mist keeps coming in
off the sea making it feel chilly at times.

Today was also the coolest day since the 16th with a max of 16.4°C. Managed
8.5 hours of sunshine before the low cloud moved in this afternoon.

Despite the relative cloudiness of the last few days the monthly total
sunshine total is still respectable at 149 hours.

Ground now very dry and some rain is needed. Only 24.7 mm this month so far.
Mean max temperatures (1st - 23rd) are well above the normal with 16.6°C but
unlikely to beat the amazing April of 2007 which had a mean max of 19.7°C.
