GUERNSEY SUNSHINE FOE 1901. 



BY MR. A. COLLENETTE, F.C.S., F.E. MET. SOC. 



The year 1901 has been below the average by 68 hours. It 

 stands the highest of those years which have fallen below the 

 average and is the fifth best year out of the eight of which I 

 now have a record.

* Decimal places have been omitted. The nearest whole number is used. 



In the first table I give the sunshine of each year, and 

 by it you will see that there are four years above and four 

 below the the average. 



The sunshine increased in quantity progressively in 1897, 

 1898 and 1899. In the latter year the apex of the curve was 

 reached, for the two last years show a progressive fall. 



The sunless days of the period have ranged between 61 

 in 1896 and 40 in 1898.
