I don't know whether or not to be surprised with the atrociously-low sunshine statistics any more.

Approaching mid-June, I was utterly flabbergasted at the paucity of sunshine at a wide scattering of stations (Bournemouth Hurn, Brize Norton, Nottingham, Leeming) - all with less than 20 hours, and as low as 12 hours at Bournemouth. I previously thought it was practically impossible to have running totals so low coming up to mid-June. I really had seen everything now.

Only I hadn't. A mere month later and Scotland has a number of stations which haven't even reached 10 hours yet never mind 20. Check this lot out:

Lerwick - 9.9
Leuchars - 9.3
Aberdeen Dyce - 8.0
Prestwick - 8.0
Eskdalemuir - 4.6
Edinburgh Gogarbank - 1.6 (no, your eyes don't need testing - one point six hours of sunshine a third of the way into July)

I should point out that I noticed those running June totals for those English stations around the 12-13th of that month, so the Scottish July figures are a couple of days behind in that respect. Also, the first half of June has slightly longer daylight hours than the first half of July. But both of these factors are negligible really.

What next? A completely sunless first half of August? Posted Image

Er lijkt gruwelijk veel mis te zijn met het patroon.
geen orkanen (erg rustig op de Atlantische oceaan), weinig tornado's in de VS en een lang aanhoudende slechte blokkade (slecht voor ons).
van mij mag die straalstroom eens opdonderen
