Sunny Bognor is Top of the League

The Bognor Regis Climatological Society was formed in 1897 when the meteorological station was opened at Waterloo Square. For the last 100 years the society has been forwarding it's daily reports to the Meteorological Society and posting them for display to the public at the Pier Toll House.

As these sunshine figures show, the climate of sunny Bognor Regis has not changed during the last 100 years of weather watching - it is still the sunniest resort in Britain!
