"One feature does stand out. August was the gloomiest since sunshine records were first collated in 1929. Day after day the Sun was blotted out by thick, grey blankets of stratocumulus or billowing cumulus clouds. Only 105 hours of sunshine broke through, two thirds of normal. That lack of sunshine has led to a rise in seasonally affective disorder, a depression caused by lack of daylight and more usual in winter. Many people also lacked enough sunshine to make sufficient vitamin D for the winter."
