The % in brackets represents the percentage from 77 possible days. I probably should wait until post 31 August, but we are almost through our calendar winter months.
Melbourne and Adelaide are the gloomiest, and Darwin is the sunniest.
Perth is looking very attractive to me right now as it blitzed the competition in the summer sunshine stakes as well....
But this puts lower-latitude places at an unfair advantage (having more daylight hours). Also, what if someplace has 95% of days with 4 hours of sunshine?
I would submit that the proportion of possible sunshine might be a better metric.

In a way, keeping the 5+ hr standard is fair imho,
as people further from the equator are likely colder and more frustrated with winter,
and the sun that does pop out casts longer shadows and is weaker,
so any given hour of sun is potentially less satisfying.

Subjective - people who don't mind cold but appreciate any sun might not agree. I'll stick to my preferences.
