Perth averaged over eleven hours per day last month. Exactly how much sun were you hoping for?

I reckon I spent too much time indoors.
I'd typically see 11 hours of sun a week, last December.

Do you ever go outside?

Do you ever go outside?
lately only a few minutes a day, midday. (too busy )
Morning and evening sun "doesn't coun't".

Sometimes I'll stay inside even if I crave sun,
say after 5:30pm because the sun is so weak, it's not satisfying.
My most favourite time of day to be outside is when there's a UV alert.

Ideally, I'd like an hour outside during cloudless conditions, midday, everyday.
That'd be plenty of sun to satisfy my UV/IR cravings.

D-. A terrible climate. This would reform those climate complainers, and turn them into upstanding citizens, with never a bad word about the weather.

Summers slight cooler than ideal, but overall a very pleasant climate.

C- ... I really like the rainfall and sunshine distribution, but hate the borderline continental winters. Just barely lifted out of a D position due to the April to October period.

Summers are a little on the cool side but tolerable...and too dry...

Winters are cold enough and a bit on the snowy side. Overall a pretty boring climate.

Too many fog days! I'd give this climate a C if there were fewer fog days, especially in summer.
