Sunniest place in Europe?

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.


What state gets the most sunshine per year?

Popular belief is Florida (the sunshine state), however, that is merely the "popular" belief perpetuated by license plates and the Florida visitors bureau. The actual meteorological data shows that 5 U.S. states actually have a greater claim on that title than Florida. The top state, and it makes sense when you think about it, is Arizona. Next, are California, Nevada, New Mexico, and Texas, in that order. These stats are from the national weather service and were reported in USA Today. http://www.usatoday.com/weather/news/2004-06-21-fla-sunshine_x.htm As stated in the USA Today article, Florida has more days where between 20% and 70% of the sun is blocked by clouds than anywhere else in the United States. See what marketing can do for you.
