Last night the recorder turned off at 21:05 (very clear conditions as well).



If things remain as they are with cloudless, clear skies and say the

recorder turns off at 21:06, then there will have been 15.63 hours of

sunshine. That is a remarkable 95% of the total possible (the highest

percentage I've recorded this year to date).



It will not (and probably cannot) get better than that!

Yes Nick. I think this is quite unprecedented. Summer of '76, '75, '70 possibly?
The summer monsoon has set in by now in most other years
