Abstract
SUNSHINE and Snowfall in 1906.“In Syrnons's Meteorological Magazine for January, Mr. R. H. Curtis gives an interesting summary, with map, of the bright sun-shine over the British Isles, registered by the Campbell-Stokes (burning) recorder. The year was one of the sunniest on record; the most favoured region was the English Channel, all stations from Torquay to Lowestoft recording approximately 2000 hours of sunshine. At inland stations the amount became less, yet, broadly speaking, all the region south of a line drawn from the Humber to the Bristol Channel received 2000 hours more than the yearly average. In north-west Scotland the amount was below 1200 hours, which was not far from the average of that district. The most brilliant months (relatively to their possible amounts) were February, April, June, July, and September; the most sunless months were May and November, in both of which the amounts recorded were generally below the average.
