Today's unbroken sunshine has now passed the magical 200 hours' mark.

Sunshine in excess of 200 hours seems to give the month a sunny(ish)
feel. Sunshine in excess of 250 hours makes the month feel rather sunny
and the rare 300+ hours in one month makes for a Med style summer month
(June 2010 & July 2013).

And a warm day too given the cool(ish) start after a run of some really
warm nights with a minimum of 11.3C and a maximum of 24.9C.

A few flickers of distant lightning out over Lyme Bay last night but we
missed the downpours here and only 2 mm fell.

August 1st – 26th:
Mean minimum = 12.8°C
Mean maximum = 23.2°C
Mean = 18.0°C
Rainfall = 34.9 mm
Sunshine = 208 hours.
