Last I checked no. The hours of daylight are the same at any point for a year. here is why. The earth is tilted at 23.5 degrees towards or away from the sun. so at times, the northern hemisphere gets longer days as it rotates around the sun (March 22 through September 20) and the other half of the year, the southern gets more sun, (September 22 through March 20) this means that Miami even gets as much sunlight hours as the North Pole, which has at least one day of non-stop daylight! It must also be noted that the North Pole also has at least one day with no sunlight. Same goes for New York. New York gets the same sunlight hours as, Beijing, Sydney, Paris, London, and even Miami. the only thing that could change this would be large obstructions in the East or West, such as mountains. There is only one thing that changes from north to south, and that is sun light intensity. Finally, Cloudy weather is not taken into this because it is not universal.

How many times does the earth rotate every 24 hours?
The amount of daylight in a "24-hour" day actually varies due to a combination of the Earth's elliptical orbit around the sun and the tilt of the Earth's axis. The further north or south you are from the equator, the more variation you will see in the amount of sunlight you get in the winter and summer. For example, the year 2009 in Nome, Alaska (165 degrees West, 64 degrees North) there were 3 hours 53 minutes of daylight on December 21 and on and June 21, 21 hours 30 minutes of daylight; a difference of nearly 18 hours . Miami, Florida (80 degrees West, 25 degrees North) on those same days had 10 hours 32 minutes and 13 hours 43 minutes respectively; a difference of only about 3 hours.

Does Florida or Michigan have longer daylight in the summer?
Florida being closer to the equator would mean that they have slightly longer daylight hours in the summer based on the angle of the earth toward the sun. Michigan gets more daylight during the summer since it is farther from the equator and closer to the Arctic Circle, north of which there is no sunset on the day of the summer solstice. On June 21, Detroit has about 15¼ hours of sunlight while Miami has only about 13 3/4 hours of sunlight. Consequently, on December 21, Detroit has about 9 hours of sunlight while Miami has about 10½ hours of sunlight.
