Default Sunless days in east Dorset ...

.... 10 sunless days including yesterday; looks like today will be the
11th. I had a look at the WeatherOnline archive which only goes back to
October 2005, but over those 5+ years, I couldn't find anything
approaching this length of persist gloom in the Hurn record.

You could argue it's a bit of a fluke - as we've had clear/clearing
skies overnight - indeed yesterday morning (Wednesday) at daybreak, the
sun did actually rise (visibly that is) but presumably wasn't strong
enough to trigger the KZS at Hurn.

And of course, at other times of the year, the chances of the cloud
clearing late in the day and giving a fractional sunshine amounts are
much greater.

Martin.
