Hi Rob,Good to see you on the forum – at last :-)I guess it helps being away from the City. 150 observable nights on average is pretty good for the Midlands, but your a fair distance from a major city. My observable nights can be as low as 69 (2002) or as high as 135 (1995) and that includes gaps in cloud and early mornings. I’ve never had more than 135 observable nights in any one year since I began keeping weather records back in 1978.Just goes to show the difference a few miles makes!Might come to live with you :-)Gary
