Default Otter Valley, Devon - Cold, cloudy start then warm sunshine

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.
