This depends upon how you define a sunny day - if you qualify days that have 75% cloud cover, or sunny days with an overcast feel due to heat haze, or wintery sunny day with a dull hue in the air, then Eastern Mediterranean islands like Rhodes and Cyprus have the highest figure. In terms of true sunshine, however, the story is different - the most sunshine amount, consistently for over 300 days, appears in the Ardeche region of France. Meanwhile, even Almeria in Spain receives more true sunshine than Rhodes. There is a further problem; people forget that during summer and times of most sunshine, length of daylight hours contribute to the equation. As such, places like St Andrews in Scotland - hence Leuchas RAF base located in max sunshine hours in UK - have much longer lengths of daylight and sunshine than places in the Med. A sunny day in the Ardeche can thus feel twice as sunny as anywhere as anywhere like Cyprus on any given day - due to the amount of sunshine reaching the ground and the extra hours of sunshine received due to day length. Don't be fooled by this phenomenon - even a person who repeatedly spends 6 summer months in Cornwall and then 6mths in Perth every year will receive twice the sunshine amount of a perosn living permanently in Rhodes or Cyprus.
