Unbroken sunshine all day today giving 7.9 hours of the warm, bright
stuff, that's 93% of the total possible. Max solar rad = 460 W/m² @ 12:45.

It was another chilly start though, with a minimum of 2.1°C and a hint
of partially frozen dew on the car windscreen this morning (no scraping
required).

A maximum of 8.6°C this afternoon, though it felt colder and the breeze
had a real bite to it. Pleasant enough though in the sunshine with a bit
of shelter.

Only one slight air frost this month so far (-0.9°C on the 13th), and no
rain since the 5th.

Jan 1st - 16th:
Mean min = 4.9°C
Mean max = 10.8°C
Mean = 7.9°C
Rain = 19.8 mm
Sun = 50 hours.

A starry, clear and cold evening.
