I see Denver is not on this list. It is one of the sunniest cities in the USA, having over 300 sunny days a year. Plus, it doesn't get too hot. Yay Denver.

Seattle's at 46%...

But hey, we beat TOKYO! (which is around 45%).. and almost all of Canada, the UK, and Ireland.

(I think we've exhausted our 46% in the last two weeks, however.. goddamn)

this is bullshit.

55.3% here in Winnipeg. Just about right as far as I'm concerned!

I don't remember Berlin winters as having been particularly brutal(relative to Washington, DC).

Seattle had sun recently? That explains everything! For the last 3 weeks DC was solidly overcast, drizzly, and unseasonably cool. What the hell were you doing with our spring?

The figures for Detroit seem way off...it has nowhere near as many sunny days as is being claimed.

What nickalicious said.

But also, the sun can make me sleepy, just like everything else does.

New York might be sunny, but it's got all those super-tall buildings to shade you.

The sunshine bores the daylights out of me. (Unless it's cool and crisp.) I need to move to Vancouver, although DC has been OTM for the last month. Any moment now it's gonna be 97 (that's like what, 36 for you metrics?) and the air will be made of water and I will be eating fuc.

Sure, the weather affects me. It sets the tone for the day, in a similar way as a dream does, ie you don't even need to be consciously aware of it for it to affect you. You can see the way it affects a whole region via such things as the music and art that people living there produce. Of course, it's is hard to entangle weather's role from all the other factors that influence such things.
Useless fact of the day: St. Petersburg, Florida had 768 days of consecutive sunshine.

Stuff the sunshine! It causes skin cancer!

(I am not a goth.)

The sun annoys me. It hurts my eyes, it causes my skin color to darken, it gives off intensive heat, it makes everything on the outside have this really bright sparkle to it, it turns the green plants outside brown, it dries up everything, it makes the pavement scorching hot to the touch, and it leads to drought, skin cancer, and other not-nice things.

Ooh, but lucky me, I live in a place with 2,721 bloomin' hours of sunshine per year, even taking into consideration the fact that every May we experience weeks of cloudiness as a result of the controlled field fires Mexican farmers set each year. Oh lucky, lucky, lucky me. Help.

Pasadena is sunnier than LA, so we're probably over 3400 hrs. I don't mind lots of sun but I hate it when it's warm in the morning (8-9 AM). And it's "Angeleno," BTW.

― nickn (nickn), Friday, 6 June 2003 22:43 (twenty years ago) link

How many hours does the sun shine out of the ass of the average Angelino, for instance?

"Yellow is the color of sunrays"

Not anymore.

I hate the sun. Especially these last few days.

Once my boss and I left the office -- this was about a month ago on one of the first sunny Portland days -- and she was admiring how the landscaping was doing until she noticed that I was literally bent over and shielding my eyes from the late-afternoon sun.

Stupid sun.
