: Total sunshine for this month so far has now passed 200 hours. With more
: sunny days to come could this be a record for April in the making?

Dutch forecaster Jan Visser notes on his website
http://www.janvissersweer.nl/ that De Bilt in the Netherlands is also
heading for 200+ hours sunshine this month.

If there are more than 221 hours sunshine, this will be one of the 10
sunniest Aprils in the record going back to 1901. If 2010 is in the top
ten, 4 of those 10 sunniest Aprils will have occurred since 2003:

Sunniest April at De Bilt since 1901 was 2007 - 284 hours; 6th sunniest
2003 - 228 hours; 7th sunniest 2009 - 227 hours.
