- Sunshine records at NW3 began in 2009. A long-term series from nearby sites is available from 1910 (use Start year above).
- Figures in brackets refer to departure from average conditions (as a percentage for sunshine)
- Sun days are days with more than 0 hours of sunshine recorded
- % of max is sunshine hours as a percentage of the maximum possible for that period.
