I don't know for sure, but it seems to me that there are more sunny days than cloudy days. If I had to guess, it would probably be about 280 sunny days.
For Cleveland, OH... About 66 days of sunshine. The remaining 299 days consist of 97 partly cloudy and 202 cloudy days. Yes, 202 cloudy days! We've gone 2 weeks straight (usually in the winter) without seeing so much as a spec of sunshine. Percentage-wise that breaks down to: 18% Sunny days 27% Partly Cloudy days 55% Cloudy days Keep in mind too that during December, January and February we only have 9 sunny days on average throughout the entire 3 month span. (9 sunny days vs. 68 cloudy days). That's only 3 days per month folks. Not good. Only 4 other major US cities have less sunshine than Cleveland (Seattle, Portland, Buffalo and Pittsburgh).
