[vsnet-obs 4721] 1996 conditions

Observing conditions 1996
G. Poyner
Birmingham England

Clear           =  74 nights
Partially clear =  52 nights
Cloud           = 240 nights

Best month   July     11 clear/ 5 partially clear
Worst month  January   0 clear/ 3 partially clear

Partially clear = sky 50 percent or more cloud, including 'holes'.
Cloud = no breaks at all

Slightly worse than 1995, especially at the beginning of the year, 
but it did pick up in the second half.
Not very scientific, but gives a good idea as to localised conditions!

regards,
Gary
