I doubt it. Southsea 1919hrs, Bognor 1921hrs, Shanklin 1923hrs. As Selsey is between Southsea & Bognor & Shanklin is further south, Selsey would likely actually be around 1920hrs.
And I'm not the one guessing sun hours for locations am I? But all you need to do is look at actual recorded data & use a bit of common sense...
You can't compare sun totals with distances. Geography of the land affects totals more. I trust the estimates of talented meteorologists over yours. The sun hours are 1921 hours at Bognor, likely increasing along the beach towards Selsey, reaching a maximum amount at the southernmost point, and then decreasing on the western side of that. Also, you cannot compare Southsea to the others as it is based on a different climate period and is likely duller.
That's right - I'm not worried about the nights, just the days.
Percentage of sun isn't a system, it's just a percentage of sunshine when the sun is above the horizon - a simple ratio.
But if you are not worried about the nights, then why would you be worried about the ''effective night period'' in polar climates? You'd be sleeping in a lot of the cloudy hours.

It doesn't matter when I'm awake or asleep in that polar climate you used -there's a 75% chance that it will be cloudy -not cool man!
But, there is six hours of sunshine, which would leave you feeling good. Now who cares about the rest of the day?
Yes you did:
"there's a 75% chance that it will be cloudy -not cool man!''
I wouldn't like a place that only averaged 25% sunshine whenever the sun is above the horizon. It sounds awful, and quite frankly .... disgusting!
The 75 percent chance comment was just an expression , but longterm averages give a reasonable ability to predict the likelihood of sunshine in advance.

But there is no logic in that, you've enjoyed 6 hours of sunshine, now who cares about the rest of the day, whether it is cloudy or dark.
San Francisco for example, has a 91% chance of being sunny in July, but is only sunny 70% of the time during daylight hours.
