So Paris gains something like 150 hours sunshine for this decade, while London loses 100.

So Paris gains something like 150 hours sunshine for this decade, while London loses 100. Paris has had some very good summers this decade.. are the sunshine recorders different in the UK to France? Seems odd that there is such a large swing for two places that are relatively similar weather and used to have similar sunshine |

Montsouris gains 89 hours (1753 hours for the 2010s vs 1662 hours for the 1981-2010 normals). Orly generally gets more sun.
Apparently Météo France switched from Campbell-Stokes heliographs to pyranometers between the 2000s and 2010s, depending on the station. Does the Met Office still use Campbell-Stokes devices?

Heathrow switched to Kipp-Zonen in 2005, Kew Gardens still uses Campbell-Stokes but the data is paywalled.
For the 1981-2010 normals, Heathrow had 1633 hours and Kew Gardens 1653 hours. If for the 1991-2020 normals, Kew remains the same but Heathrow has decreased, then there must be something wrong with the Heathrow sensor.

What is the closest Met Office station to Dover? Regarding stations relatively close to the Channel on the French side, Abbeville gets 1680 hours and Caen 1691. I know most of England's south coast gets significantly more sun than that, though they're both a dozen km or so inland.
