This record makes Den Helder sunnier than Venice or Remini, at least in
2003 :-).

A Radio 4 programme I heard yesterday suggested that Northern Europe might
be the preferred summer today destination for Southern Europeans (to get
away from the heat) and not the other way round as at present.

Sure, our Northern Summers might become very acceptable, but our damp, dull
winters are likely to remain unappealing. So I suppose it's quite likely
that although the holiday trek in the Summer might indeed be from south to
north, in the winter there will be increased tourism the other way round.
Not much point going all the way to the Caribbean or Florida in mid winter
is just as acceptable along the Mediterranean Coast. But whatever global
warming throws at us, it will never change the amount of daylight. The Med
will always compare unfavourable on that score in winter with the Caribbean.
