Abstract

AN article on “Seasonal Sunshine in Great Britain” by Mr. Charles Harding appeared in NATURE of March 20. The results were based on the 35-years' mean, 1881–1915. Comparing south-east England with south-west England and south Wales, Mr. Harding says that “the average sunshine for the year in south-east England is 4.49 hours a day, and in south-west England and south Wales, including the so-called Cornish Riviera, it is 4.28 hours. In the winter, south-east England has an average daily sunshine of 1.92 hours, and in south-west England and south Wales the value is 1.91 hours a day; in spring the hours of sunshine for the two districts are respectively 5.50 and 5.36; in summer 6.88 and 6.41, and in autumn 3.46 and 3.31 hours”.
