28th January - A Sunny Month
Posted: Sat Jan 28, 2017 7:41 pm
Nice to see the monthly sunshine total passing 100 hours today on what was a superb day with a deep blue sky and dazzling, warm sunshine. This Atlantic air is certainly a huge improvement on that nasty, cold air of recent.
Saturday 28th January:
Minimum = 2.4C
Maximum = 11.3C
Rain = 10.2 mm
Sunshine = 6.3 hours
Monthly sunshine = 103.4 hours
This month joins the last 2 Januaries in having 100+ hours of sunshine.
Is January becoming sunnier? It certainly seems to be when compared to the LTA data I have for nearby Sidmouth. But that was with a CS recorder so all the usual caveats apply.
Otter Valley January sunshine:
2016 = 101 hours
2015 = 105 hours
2014 = 76 hours
2013 = 67 hours
2012 = 88 hours
2011 = 70 hours
2010 = 89 hours
2009 = 78 hours
2008 = 67 hours
2007 = 64 hours
This January may well end up the sunniest I've recorded.
