I'm sure there are plenty of Sydneysiders enjoying it immensely.

Just how is that relevant? What others want holds no interest to my weather preferences, and I believe Koyaanisqatsi1 would agree.

18.7 hours / 2.3 hours per day to the 8th in Buxton, England.

[dunno what to put here]

We're up to 36.2 hours. Much higher than southern England. Looks like the tables have turned, mwahaha*



*Not that I'm bothered mind you, but it's a different perspective to 'it's grim oop north'

Obviously, but I don't think that's any consolation to him, since he doesn't enjoy it, at all.

Very good! We can keep this little competition going all summer if you want?

I'm interested in seeing it continue myself. At the present time, we can fairly say it's grim down south .

We have had 8 straight days of cloud cover, not including today which is yet again cloudy. Maybe a couple days had an hour here or there of sun. I don't remember this many cloudy days in a row for a long time. So I would say maybe 5 hours of sun so far. Gotta love the extremes we get in these continental climates. Not!

Actually, your May average (last 30 years) is a bit better than that, at about 141 hrs. However this month's tally will probably not look too flash in a week's time.
