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.

I've just checked and only January and April were sunnier than normal
but most months were around average or just slightly below. March and
September were the really 'stand-out' dull ones.

Monthly sunshine (1st-9th) now at 48 hours and the annual total is now
at 1468 hours, which is below the average for this date.
