How often do people living in NYC (Manhattan specifically) actually spend much time outside in the sun and how much of the sun is blocked by buildings? (just curious)...
It can be sunny and rain at the same time. NYC has more colder weather compared to FL. Some parts of FL hardly ever go below 70 or 80 degrees.
You're right it could but that doesn't happen too often, I love sun showers though. No one is debating that NYC doesn't have more colder weather than FL, there's only one season in NYC in which we barely drop below 70 degrees and if we do its usually to 68 or 69 degrees, sometimes our lows stay in the mid-80's.

People working in offices may not spend as much time outdoors in the sun. But there is some sunlight in the streets as the heights of the buildings in Manhattan to vary. Also many people that work in Manhattan don't live in Manhattan so they can get plenty of sunlight in their own neighborhoods.

That's a good question but not all the sun is blocked by buildings like people think. I believe Manhattan is only 19% of NYC's population though and not all of it is filled with huge skyscrapers.

I guess less rainy days makes sense, due to the fact that in winter, it snows rather than rains. If you look at the fact that NYC has an entire winter season, the number of days of rain, at least to me, indicate that NYC has more rainy days during spring, summer, and autumn.
Actually, NYC and the whole Hudson Valley has a peculiar quality of light that, in my opinion, is magnificent in its quality and variation throughout the day and year. Only New Mexico compares.
Both places have historically been a draw for landscape painters back before computers and film destroyed the medium ;-/
