SUNSIIIXE OF (UEllXSEY. 1^97 



It is also interesting to know that we may look for more 

 sunshine on the 11 th of Jnly th.-in on any other day of the 

 year and for less on the 13th of December. There are also 

 the facts that the average gloomiest days in May, June, July 

 and August are 5*72, 6*35, 5*96, 6*77 hours, and the average 

 sunniest days in these months exceed 10 hours. 



I have prepared a new table (No. III.) which shows the 

 effect of continued sunshine on Temperature. This table 

 speaks for itself and need not be remarked on here. I expect 

 that it may be considered here that the difference of 4° in tem- 

 perature between a gloomy and sunny summer will seem small, 

 but it must not be overlooked that small differences in 

 ''means " represent large differences in detail. 



The comparison betAveen Guernsey and Jersey is one 

 which always interests us. The year's sunshine exceeds, in 

 Guernsey, that of Jersey by 22 hours. This is a small excess, 

 but those of you who have followed my previous papers will 

 know that it has occurred fairly constantly. 



It will also be of interest to give the sunshine for the 

 United Kingdom for 1907 and in averages. In these it will 

 be seen that these Islands are far sunnier than any portion of 

 the British Isles.
