Yet another hideous Sunday of vile grey skies, drizzle, cool temperatures and wind 🤢 Once again nothing like what a NW'ly would have produced at this time of year which would have been clear skies overnight and a min well into single figures. Wouldn't have been at all unusual to see a sub 5C min by now as opposed to the rank 12.3C min from which it's barely risen despite being mid-morning 🤬
Absolutely shocking. I haven't seen a properly sunny Sunday here since February. The only Sunday all year to manage 10 hours was 2nd July and that was when I was in Portugal and even that had a short shower 🙄
3.76 hour daily average for Sunday this year - more than 1 hour behind the second worst performing day which is Thursday with 4.78 hours 🤢 Saturday recovered from rock bottom thanks to a good run through June and July but the lack of decent Sundays still means the overall weekend average falls well short of the weekday average.
July wasn't great but it was better than August which has been a really tedious month. Weekends were better and there were 3 days which managed 12 hours sun. Not been a single day managed that in August for the first time since 2011 👎
In fact I'm struggling to recall a single occasion all month when there was a clear sky even for the briefest of periods. As a result the sunniest day has managed only a pitiful 10.3 hours sun which is only just ahead of 2008 which had 10.2 hours on the sunniest day 🤢 It's so poor that even September hasn't recorded such a low total for the sunniest day since 2010 🤢
