Your average/total sunshine hours so far....

[ben86]

Selected places as of 6 am today:


Lerwick: 168.6 hours (132% of monthly average) - most in the entire UK, very unusual
Leeming: 76.7 hours (49%) - near me, so where I live will probably be about 70 hours
Heathrow: 71.1 hours (40%)


Yeovilton (southwest England) is the lowest on 61.6 hours (32%). I'm shocked to see how bad it's been across the south this month, dullest June on record looks likely for a lot of places. There must have been a lot of localised heavy downpours as well because the rainfall totals look pretty random from place to place.


The month so far - in the British Isles

[dunno what to put here]

Just for perspective's sake - December 2010 at Leeming at this point in the month had 71 hours of sun.

Where did you get the figures up to the 22nd from? I remember Jersey getting something like 120 hours in December 2001 and it's only on 96.5 hours now, but it's a bit much to expect it to get less than 25 over the next week.

Ogimet, although I just realised that Leeming had 71 hours up to the 25th, not the 22nd. It had 64 hours up to the 22nd.

Either way, it highlights how exceptionally dull this month has been.

71.1 hrs up to today. The 2 cloudiest Junes on record were 2012 with 118.5 hrs, and 1990 with 132.5 hrs.

Average sunshine for June is 205 hrs, so it has been truly shocking.

December 2010 here had just 18.5hrs sun, and remains the cloudiest December on record at Heathrow.

Our cloudiest June on record was last year. Of the total possible sunshine which is 454.8 hours for the month, last June recorded 46% of that which is 209 hours using the Foster device at MDW. Reduce that by 10% to match WMO international figures and we roughly had 188 hours.

This June is sunnier than normal for sure, but don't have any data.

Also very cloudy in the far north of Norway so far in June, only 71 sunhours in Tromsø And with that daylength!

On the SW coast, Fureneset a little N of Bergen has 244 sunhours so far in June.

We've had abundant sunshine as usual though coolish temperatures once in a while. Tallinn has had 240 hours so far, so I guess we'd have similar amounts. Utö clocked 362 hours in May, so Turku had most likely close to 350.
