Just passed 100 hours here, Graham, so we're just above the average for the
whole month. As always, we live in completely different meteorological worlds:-)

Hi Graham&Norman
108hr(68%) Copley so far. It has been noticeably dull but warm this year. Far too many easterly flows off the North Sea for my liking.
I'm hoping the breezy westerlies and Copley sunshine will return soon, possibly next week.

Easterlies and westerlies both result in cloud in Tideswell (and southerlies).
It's only with northerlies that we are in a 'shadow'. During the summer months
a lot of the cloud is of the 'home-grown convective' type with orographic
uplift being a significant factor.

Four days worth of unbroken sunshine until today when this afternoon a
few clouds spoiled things..... But still have managed over 10 hours of
sunshine today so far.

Your estimation of 220 hours of sunshine fits well with what I have
recorded so far this month. Currently up to 219 hours and will likely
pass the 220 hours this evening as the skies are now clear.

Warm today with a maximum of 26.2°C and feeling a little humid too with
a DP of 17.5°C.

Sea breeze rather weak today. It didn't start up until 15:00 and ceased
at 18:30.

A lovely warm, sunny evening.

(19:30), 22.7°C, RH 55%, DP 13.0°C, 1017 hPa (F), Wind NW 4 mph.

Unbroken sunshine today, a deep blue sky. http://www.sennen-cove.com/today2..htm A notable feature of this warm dry spell is how good the visibility has been throughout.

The only cloud I saw today, apart from a few small wisps of cirrus, was the normal narrow line of Cu down the spine of the Lizard.

A F3 ENE wind this afternoon, with a maximum of 22.2C.

The UK gets some remarkable variations for it's geographical size, no wonder we're obsessed with the weather!

Warm, dry spell. Hmm. I reckon we must be in double figures this month. That's for temperature and sunshine combined.
(Only a minor exaggeration).
