Dull & wet

Dull and wet today with 23mm by 22.00 hours and still raining.

What a July!

13 days gone and we've had almost 100 mm of rain, 33 hours of sunshine
and still not managed 21c

Highest was Thursday with 20.6c

Dullest July on record is 1980 with 96.1 hours at this rate we won't get
close!

March and April sun hours = 386.5
May, June and 13 days of July = 290.9

March & April rainfall = 67.5mm
May, June and 13 days of July = 328.7mm

Blimey! I thought we were having it bad doon 'ere with it being so dull but
have managed a 'not-so-disappointing' but still a very low 66 hours of sun
so far this month.

Other stats so far (1st - 13th)
Rainfall 43.6 mm
Mean max 19.3C
Mean min 11.3C
Mean 15.3C

Highest temp was 23.0C on the 12th.

Easily the worst summer I can remember. Let's hope August saves the day
(and/or September).

Nick, for comparison in Penzance (1st - 13th)

Rainfall 44.5mm
Mean Max - 18.7C
Mean Min - 12.7C
Mean 15.7C

The coldest July I've recorded was 15.7C in 1993 - so it had better
improve!

I suspect we've had nearer 80 hours of sunshine. If Philip's reading
this any figures for Falmouth or anywhere in west Cornwall/Scilly?

I have been going through the sea level pressure charts for 1998 and
was struck by the number of Lows that seems to have dominated the year
then.

Was it really that bad? I can't remember a bad year like that. It
wasn't THAT long ago was it?

64h at Camborne, 70h at St Mawgan, 82h at Culdrose. I should
imagine Nick's sunshine potential may be somewhat restricted ??

Manchester has had but 26h bright sunshine July 1-14 ... the
English northwest has taken over from the North Sea coastline
as the gloomiest part of the country since the end of June.

I think some of us have been spoiled by recent summers.

Certainly in terms of temperature, it hasn't been *that* low.

Another dull and mostly wet day today with 9.6mm of rain and nil
sunshine hours so far.

At least we had our sunniest day of the month yesterday with an amazing
7.5 hours, now up to an even more amazing 40 hours in 15 days!
