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.

Slightly better in Southampton yesterday morning, the sun was visible
from sunrise until, I think , about 11am.
I'm hoping that things will improve from Saturday, even if it's not
exactly settled there will hopefully be some sun at times.
