Where? Closest I found averaged 1800 hours. All of them places on the coast.
Portsmouth gets 1920 hours, Bognor 1928 hrs, Shanklin 1923 hours. Weather stations are quite spare on that part of the coast though. It's close enough to be approx 2000 hours.

Mangoes and other tropicals are grown here in Phoenix as well, so you forgot to list Southwestern AZ

Interesting, you would think being on the coast would make you cloudier in an oceanic climate, maybe it does in the summer but not winter?

It's because convective rainfall in the summer forms over land & the predominate winds in the UK are SW'ly so any showers are pushed further inland. It really is only the extreme coastal strip that is much sunnier though, even where my Mum lives (around 8 miles north of Portsmouth) is more cloudy than Southsea (Portsmouth) & often she would be on the phone telling me it was cloudy or raining where she lives & it was blue sky & sunshine in Southsea...
That lizard isn't from the Southeast, it's from the Southwest, found in desert-like environments.
It said that they were found in areas of the Carolinas, Georgia, northern Florida. Furthermore, it is native to Texas (the eastern areas of which are in the southeast), Louisiana, and Arkansas.
See my previous post in this thread about the huge diff in winter means. We are talking about a 13F diff between two winters and everything in between. Plan a trip to Louisiana in winter and you better bring your heavy winter coat cause you just never know. I will prove it to you if you want just by looking at an "avg" winter.
Huh? I live further north than the AR/LA border and even up here you don't really need a heavy coat in winter. A regular sweater is all you need. Why are you making Louisiana seem like the Upper Midwest? It's in the 60s to 30s normally in winter. Hardly anything to write home about.

It's not native to the Carolinas though. Anoles can be found in Kansas but they're definitely not Midwestern lol
The horny toad is native to Texas (western Texas, mostly..) through Mexico and as west as Arizona and north as Kansas and Colorado. It's an arid climate lizard, you can tell in looks.
