GUEKNSEY SUNSHINE FOE 1902. 



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



Again we have experienced a year of low sunshine, the total 

 having fallen below the average of the nine years, during 

 which I have recorded sunshine, by no less than 177 hours. 



Only one of these nine years has shown a smaller record, 

 viz., 1894, that year having given 1,724 hours against 1,768 in 

 1902.
