THE SUNSHINE OF GUERNSEY. 



27 



The figures brought up to 1900 still show a progressive 

 rise, but probably the apex of the curve has been reached. 



December, 1895, still stands as the lowest record of 

 sunshine with 18 hours. 



The number of sunless days has not been great. I give 

 a table to show the place of 1900.

 14*66 hours, occurring on the 22nd of June. This was 90°, o 

 of the possible, and was beaten by that of the 7th July, 1898, 

 when 94°/ o was registered.
