Hah - as suspected, the record sunniest November averaged out across this country (for the entire month, not just 11 days) was only 93.1 hours in 2006 (), though some individual sites probably have got above 110 at some point.
Our days are longer for the equivalent month (May), but the record sunshine high is very much higher than that - 224 hours.

Doesn't surprise me. That figure is similar to our sunniest April (217.5 hours in 1984, though the chart doesn't give the figure for this year, which might have slightly beaten it.) Sunniest month since records began: 287.6 hours (July 2006, also the hottest month on record); dullest month: 20.6 hours (December 1956, wouldn't happen again these days).

The 224 wasn't a country average - it was the highest individual tally here. So your 217.5 for April as an English average (? - not UK - that appears to be around 204) is pretty good. The highest individual site score for October here is 300.

I don't know if they are local records, but July 2006 here = 274.9 hours and December 1956 = 7.7 hours ( we're above the normal London fog layer, how was it that bad?!). I think 1956 was also the year the Clean Air Act was passed to cut down on pollution which thankfully put a stop to that sort of horror month.
Should be a lovely autumn day with breezy conditions and a high around 50 F. It's mostly cloudy right now. Hope it stays that way, but I won't count on it here in Sunnyville.
Looks like it's pleasantly cool and dry in much of the eastern half of the country today. Most of the south is in the 50s, Florida in the 60s. Currently 71 F with a dewpoint of 52 F in Miami.
- lol I don't watch a lot of (read 'any') vampire films - thought that was a real clip until halfway through
