Which is more likely to occur in summer 2018; a summer month with over 300 hours of sunshine recorded, or a summer month with under 100 hours recorded?
Neither have ever happened at Heathrow (excluding July 2006 with 312 hours and July 2013 with 303 hours, which were recorded with an electronic sensor and subsequently edited to 268 and 266 hours to be compatible with CS readings).
In the past decade, 4 summer months have just scraped past the 100 hour mark; August 2008 (104.3 hours), August 2010 (110.9 hours), June 2012 (118.5 hours) and June 2016 (101.7 hours).

At the rate it's going probably one with less than 100 hours.  |

Yeah. I can't see any month getting over 200 hours this year, let alone 300.

Surprised that 2 people voted for what would normally be the more sensible option.

I'd say a 300 hour sunshine month because y'all are well overdue and I'm hoping you guys do, lol.

Except Seattle Bulgarian mades stuff up, while I strictly deal with facts, it was actually 458 hours, so I even underestimated it:  To be fair to London, at its latitude a similar month would mean about 390-400 hours. |

Heathrow will never record 390-400 hours in a summer month.
Eastbourne has the record with 384 hours in July 1911.
Inland areas get too much cumulus and cumulonimbus build up in the summer, relative to the coast.

Inland areas get too much cumulus and cumulonimbus build up in the summer, relative to the coast. That Eastbourne record is seriously impressive by UK standards, what's the record for Northern England/Scotland? Has there ever been a freak accidental month in a maritime station at a place with high potential hours available? Do you have any idea how sunny Gillingham can be? While coastal there's still landmass blocking some directions. |

300h. I don't buy into the bs that for some reason the summer this year would be cloudier because April and March were cloudy. And because the average for the last 10 years has been gloomier in summer than average doesn't mean this summer will be.
And the fact that this year has an 8 in it doesn't mean fucking shit.

Since April 2017, every month has been cloudier than average, except February. Why would that suddenly change? |

It would go completely against the trend of the past 12 years. These are the last 31 years in Stockholm. One square is 1'C, and the baseline is 61-90. 2010 happened, and 1996 did too. Besides, considering the lack of sunny summers in London the last ten years isn't a continuation of a longer trend, there's nothing that says it can't just turn back to normal. And sunshine is way more irregular than temperatures. |

And sunshine is way more irregular than temperatures. How do you know it isn't the start of a trend? It's clearly been massively below average for 12 years. That isn't just random variation. |
