Your average/total sunshine hours so far.... (recorded, rainfall, days)

[Hiromant]

A whopping 11 hours for December. Sooner than I realize it'll be spring filled with long sunny days so I'm enjoying the cloudiness for now.

6.1 hours.

[Rozenn]

5.2 h. Today was the 8th consecutive sunless day, so the current cloudy spell beats mid-November, which had only 7 consecutive days without sunshine.

9.6 hours here, with seven of the last nine days being sunless. A place called Bala in North Wales (which may well have an obstructed horizon) is only on 1.1 hours after ten days of the month. Unfortunately I know no way of finding out what it had in the last week or two of December but it certainly won't have been much!

^^^ I feel terrible for you guys!

43.3 hours here to the 9th, i.e. 4.8 hours/day. Slightly below average.

[dunno what to put here]

15.5 hours

[Weatherfan2]

11.1 hours

Not likely to be the dullest in the last 10 years, the total figure needs to come in below 14 for that to happen.

^^^ What is the dullest month ever recorded at you guys' respective locations?

MTD in Nice: 65.7 hours = 4.7 hours/day. Slightly cloudier than normal.

Ever? Probably 2-3 hours in January one year when Sheffield had 6 hours. It's on the metoffice website.

Heathrow Dec 2010 had 18.5 hours. The 2010/11 winter was the dullest on record at that station.
