No, it doesn't. Heathrow's sun recorder under-records on clear or mostly sunny days (and I wasn't the person who originally brought that up).

I'd still like to see your 'research' on the matter. Looking at incorrect stats on wiki, or the very low resolution Met Office maps (which have already been pointed out to be inaccurate by dunno), doesn't count by the way.

I think it's quite clear now that you don't know what you are talking about, when it comes to sunshine in London area.

North of the Chilterns ? those towns are south of - and i could include hundreds more - Winchester,Salisbury,Swindon ..i haven't checked the figures as i know i'm correct on this one .


You are saying that London is warmer in summer in the day
You are saying that London is warmer at night
You are saying that London is warmer than all the surrounding towns in winter
You are now saying London is sunnier

Climate doesn't work like that .

You have to trade something .....

I get the colder winter days and freezing night lows - what are you prepared to trade B87 ? put your cards on the table

Not all, but you'd given sun stats for some places that don't even have weather stations...

yes ,but they all nicely correspond to that nice round figure of 1550 - the sort of nice round figure you would expect for those inland areas .

The Hampstead and the other north London location looked very accurate ,Kew would have to be 20 miles further south normally - and Heathrow is a real wild berry - not sure how 1600 is achieved there of all places - it would be slightly more convincing if it was somewhere like Bexleyheath lol

No, that's just a figure that you've made up - completely ignoring actual sun recorders in the area like Heathrow, Kew, Charlwood etc.. Even Benson is a lot sunnier than that.

another frost hollow then

Charlwood is at the foot of a Gatwick runway - i can see how that might pinch 1600 or even 1630 ,that is well on the way to the south coast
