5.8 hours of sun in the past week and over half of that was recorded yesterday
The second lowest total I have recorded for the final week of the year, when I am always off, after 4.6 hours in 2008. However only 1.0mm of rain in 2008 compared to 16.6mm this year
All in all another dire festive period for weather and all the worse for following on from the direst periods for weekend weather I can ever remember.
1.58 hours daily sun was the average across the weekends of the final quarter - over half an hour less than the previous worst effort I recorded which was just last year and it was also well below the worst before that
Years with lowest weekend sunshine for Oct-Dec:
2021 - 1.58
2020 - 2.09
2010 - 2.51
2015 - 2.55
So the two years I don’t get abroad for my autumn sunshine boost I was rewarded with the two vilest sets of weekends in at least 15 years as well as one of the worst ever festive periods. Just brilliant
As for snow, pretty much given up even hoping for it. Just the two falls here of over 6cm since 2013. 8cm in March 2018 and 14cm this February
