Haziest cities or towns (hot, average, day, storms)

[Weidehond]

Any ideas?
Places where the sun never really shines.
Last week I watched "sea sheperd, Viking shores" on Discovery. This show is entirely at the Faroe Isles. Very cloudy place, but when the sun finally breaks thru the thick pack of clouds...the sunlight is really bright and pure. So even though it might be one of the cloudiest places in the world, it truly has some real sunshine.
So what about places like Los Angeles or Beijing....many sunshine hours but does the sun really shine there? Never been to those places so I can't really tell.
In my opinion some very hazy cities:

Beijing, China
Linfen, china
Chengdu, china
Chongqing, china
LA, USA
Lima, Peru
Medan, Indonesia
Mexico City

Amman, Jordan

I've been to LA in June and July, and the sun really shines there once the cloud cover breaks up. Even the most polluted of these cities have bouts of "real sunshine" when the weather permits it.

Los Angeles is nowhere as bad as many Chinese cities, I remember a slight haze in LA on a sunny day there (summer is the most smog prone). The haze is probably more obvious in the Chinese cities.

Chongqing should be the outright winner. Very foggy area, location between hills, average annual sunshine about only 1050 hours and increasing pollution due to industrial development. That city must look grey and dim.

New Dehli, India in the winter. Dust storms from Rajasthan + Exterme pollution make smog and haze unavoidable. Here is an image of Raj Path:

BTW, is hot rain considered to be smog , because up here when its over 70 F and raining people always say its so smoggy and nasty.
