I was under the impression that sunshine hour stats are calculated differently in different countries, with examples of cities sharing an international border having significantly different reported sunshine hours. Tough question.
The PNW is sunnier than Great Britain by far, some if the summer forecasts for Vancouver and Seattle include weeks if sunshine rare in GB outside the extreme south.
Yes, but that has no relevance on climate classification. "Oceanic climate" and "continental climate" refer to the temperature and precipitation and other aspects of the climate, not to the physical location of the particular city or region in question. Granted, oceanic climates are usually on islands or near coasts and continental climates are almost always well inland (hence their naming scheme) but that's not a defining factor in climate classification, only the climate data is.
