SUNSHINE DUKING THE YEAR 18 96. 



BY MR. A. COLLENETTE, F.C.S. 



Through the kindness of Dr. Francis Carey I am able to 

 give the results of two recorders this year. My own records 

 are taken with a twin Jordan instrument, Dr. Carey's with 

 the single pattern Jordan recorder.

The two totals given above give a mean of 1886*12 hours. 

 Jersey's sunshine is given as 1879*00 hours. It is evident 

 that the exact sunshine recorded varies with the recorder 

 used (Jersey uses a Campbell-Stokes glass ball) or differs 

 from personal equation in the reading. At present the 

 figures do not favour either island. 



The long interval that occurred between the 3rd of April 

 and the 18th of August, 146 days, without a sunless day, was, 

 long as it was, largely exceeded in 1895, when no sunless day 

 was registered between April 2nd and October 6th, 186 days.
