THE SUNSHINE OF GUERNSEY. 



153 



You will see by the first table that there are four years 

 above the average and five years below. As stated last year 

 the sunshine increased year by year from 1896 to 1899, which 

 was the year of the highest record, and has diminished pro- 

 gressively since. This gives a wave when represented as a 

 curve, with three years on either side of the apex.

One month, April, exceeded the average, the other eleven 

 months fell below it. Even April's surplus was small, and (as 

 will be seen in Table II.) had very little effect in modifying 

 the deficit. The greatest deficit was that of the month of 

 June, which was no less than 52*85 hours, August followed 

 with a deficit of 32*51 hours. January and October gave over 

 23 hours each, while March and May were both more than 

 15 hours below their averages. 



In sunless days January, April, June and October were 

 above the average. March, May, August, September and 

 November equalled the average. February and December 

 were below the average. July had no sunless days. May, 

 June, August and September but one each. On the whole 

 year there were seven more sunless days than the average. 

 The average sunless days for the six months, April to Septem- 

 ber inclusive, are four. This year three months gave seven.
