Since November 2nd we have had just the briefest glimpses of the sun in
the form of bright intervals. I doubt that it mounts to 6 hours in
total. To make things worse every News 24 evening forecast since last
Wednesday has promised more sunshine for the next day. Then, each
following morning(apart from Thursday, when they stuck to the bright
forecast despite the fog)it has been grey and damp. The same applies
today so we will see if tomorrow brings the brighter skies at last. What
is remarkable is the similarity to Jan and early February last year. The
cloud hangs from the Southern North Sea through the Wash and down into
Northern France.
