We're almost
one-third of the way through the month and the sunshine total
up to today is a rather measly 13.7 hours. That's only 22%
of the average for the whole month so we could be on for
another very dull month relative to average. With September
this year producing only 75% of the average sunshine for
the month, the first half of autumn is showing a substantial
sunshine deficit.

Only around 26 hours of sunshine this month just inland from Penzance at Bossullow. The norm is approx 110 hours, so 23% of normal.
Bossullow has also suffered, being on the moors, of catching all the misty low cloud in what has been very humid air of late. It's often, as today, been bright, but not bright enough to register as sunshine. There has been some (quite warm) sunshine today down in Penzance. Out of the mist the visibility has been VG/E. This morning mist at cliff top level, drop down 50', clear as bell.
So far this year only April has been sunnier than the norm.
