The North Sea influence has really set in now. Currently 124.3hr sun

book, The English Climate (I think that is the title, but not the Lamb
version), describes the cloudy, humid Durham summer well. I wish I had
my copy still. Has anyone got one or can point me to one, or even the
correct title? Even better, any chance of a quick resume of the Durham
climate paragraph? I would be really appreciative. It begins,
"Climatically, Durham shows its proximity to Scotland....."

You've got the right title. I have the 1954 edition and I'll try to find
what you're wanting but it may take a while as the index is somewhat
limited; Durham doesn't get a mention - Daily weather map, Depressions,
Dog days, and Droughts are the only entries under "D".
