This is impossible to answer without a location. In general days are shortest in December and January in the Northern Hemisphere, and June and July in the southern. However, days are not always sunny. That depends on the weather patterns in specific places. You would need to look at weather records for the place in which you are interested.

∙ 6y agoIn the Northern Hemisphere, Since the shortest day is the 21st of December, I would assume that the month with the lowest average numbers of light per day is December. Since the 21st of December is Closer to January than November, I would assume that January is 2nd, Followed by November and then February.
However, I have not calculated the total numbers of Hours seeing as November only has 30 days, and February only has 28.
it is febuary

∙ 13y agoThe day of the year that has the least sunlight hours is December 21 in the northern hemisphere, which is the first day of the Winter Solstice and from then on until the Summer Solstice (June 21), we gradually gain more hours of sunlight.
The reverse is true of the Southern Hemisphere.

∙ 16y agoIn the Northern Hemisphere, December 21 has the shortest length of daylight, and the longest length of Daylight is June 21.
In the Southern Hemisphere, it is the opposite.
Wiki User
∙ 16y agoIn the Northern hemisphere, the shortest day (winter solstice) is around 21 December.
In the Southern hemisphere, the shortest day is around 21 June.

What season does the least amount of daylight occur during in the Northern Hemisphere?
Winter brings the shortest days and the least daylight ... in either hemisphere.
Why do the north and south poles stay cool all year round?
These places receive the least direct sunlight out of all the places of the Earth.
What is the day with the least amount of sunlight?
In the winter. More specifically on the Winter Solstice, which in the Northern Hemisphere falls between December 20 and 23 (December 21 for the years 2008, 2009, and 2010).
Does anyone have a definitive answer to the question whether there is more sunlight at the north pole than at the south pole?
There are seasonal differences in the amount and directness of daylight (e.g., the first day of summer always has the longest period of daylight, and the first day of winter the least amount of daylight). With regard to the Northern Hemisphere, at winter solstice(approximately December 21), Earth's North Pole is pointed away from the Sun, and sunlight falls more directly on the Southern Hemisphere. At the summer solstice (approximately June 21), Earth's North Pole is tilted toward the Sun, and sunlight falls more directly on the Northern Hemisphere At the intervening vernal and autumnal equinoxes, the both the North and South Pole are oriented so that they have the same angular relationship to the Sun and, therefore, receive equal illumination.

Why does Antarctica experience at least 1 month of solid sunlight during December?
Because of the Earths tilt.
What hemispheres revives fewer direct rays from the January than in July?
