Shame...I've got 40000000009876526775557887667887542567 hours for the past 2 weeks
That's just crazy talk, but I'm in reality. I'm up here in Eureka, Nunavut which had 667 hours of bright sunshine in May 1987. If we convert this to American sunshine hours we're talking over 700 hours. May is the sunniest month of the year up here, and was incredibly sunny last month, but since they no longer record this data, I can only estimate. I estimate 700 hours.
So I been keeping track of sunshine hours here past few days but I have a question...
When the sun pokes in and out literally for few minutes and sometimes just dim through the clouds but obviously its "shining" on the surface (but dim), how do you record that? Do you total the minutes or just round it to hourly?
So far last 6 days including today, since Sunday the 15th, I've had 7-9 hours of sunlight.
Here in Bremerhaven 144.1 hours this month so far (including today) and 810.9 hours for the year so far.
Next week will be far less sunshine so it's questionable if we could still top our average of 208 hours for the whole month.
