I'm guessing you visited in either August 2004 (wettest on record) or August 2008 (dullest on record) then? August 1995 recorded no rainfall at all and 300 hours of sun.

I remeber him saying he visited in August 2008, which happened to be the dullest since 1912, not something that happens every year , hence why it's idiotic to judge a climate on a limited experience of it.
London gets only 33 clear days a year and it's one of the cloudiest places on Earth
I doubt it's that cloudy. From what I remember, London was definitely cloudier than home but I saw sun fairly often; the sun seemed like it was there at least some of the time during the day and during the summertime it would be sunny a lot of the days at least partly cloudy.
I think some other places would be far worse. London is fairly dry, so I would expect the wetter parts of the British Isles would be cloudier. I remember Wales and Scotland as rather dreary in the summer. The western parts of the British Isles I'd imagine to be cloudier since they're near the Ocean (except perhaps Cornwall). Any maritime climate far away from the tropics should be rather cloudy. I'd think the Pacific Coast of the US and Canada to be cloudier since they are wetter. The Pacific Northwest I think is still sunnier than Britan probably because the summers are rather dry. Southeast Alaska, maybe Prince Rupert might all be cloudier than Britan. What about the Aleutian Islands? Tierra del Fuego? Northern Scandavia? Newfoundland? Southern New Zealand? I'd curious which comes out cloudier.

Out of all those places you listed, I'm guessing it would probably be the Aleutians for the cloudiest place although not sure. Someone else have an idea?
