It was a raw, finger numbing start to the day here in the Otter Valley
with temperatures struggling. Then the clouds disappeared, out came the sun and a lovely afternoon followed. With just a slight breeze it felt warmer than the max of 9.2°C. Overnight low was -1.1°C making it the coldest night since the 18th December (-1.4°C). Though by the time I got up (08:30), the temperature was +0.9°C and all trace of the frost had gone. A total of 4.9 hours of sunshine. So far, sunshine (with 55 hours) is running at 41% of the total possible (1st - 17th), this isn't bad for January, and hell of an improvement on January 2011 (one of the duller months I have recorded). Jan 2011 (1st - 17th) sunshine: 20.2 hours (14% of the total for the 1st - 17th). That was pitifully low but a sudden increase in sunshine levels from the 18th onwards ensured that the month did not end up the dullest of any month I have recorded since before 2007. That unfortunate accolade goes to February 2011 with just 53.4 hours. No wonder 2011 ended up a dull year with an annual total of only 1691 hours, easily my lowest annual total (2007). A cold, misty evening. (19:00), 2.2°C, RH 91%, DP 0.9°C, 1026 hPa (S), Wind 2 mph N. -- Nick G Otter Valley, Devon 20 m amsl http://www.ottervalley.co.uk |
