SUNSHINE OF GUERNSEY. 



99 



April and June are two months that have this year 

 beaten the records for gloominess, they give 25 and 4 hours 

 respectively below any previous lowest. 



The averages of the months have, in consequence of 

 this serious departure from the normal, suffered considerable 

 modification. April has its average diminished by nearly 

 six hours.

The great want of sunshine is hardly reflected in the 

 sunless days which are only increased by six for the whole 

 year, thus showing that at some portion of most of the dull 

 days there have been a. few gleams redeeming the day from 

 utter sunlessness.
