The rest of the month certainly marked a small improvement. November 29 was thus bathed in 6:36 hours of sunshine; the 22nd at 6 a.m. all round; on the 14th at 5:36 a.m. But November 11, 17, 19, 23, 27, 28 and 30 were also days without any breakthrough of the sun in the sky over Maine-et-Loire. In ten years, no November had been so sunny in Anjou. And, during this year 2024, no month had been so overcast.
