Well, I'd just calculate the hours to a percent and then multiply it by the amount of possible sunshine hours.
So, Darwin has 315/354.95 = 0.88 = 88% of possible sunshine
Then I calculate the most possible sunshine hours for Winnipeg in July, which is 492.9, and multiply 0.88*492.9 = 433.7
It turns out Darwin would have had 433 hours of sunshine in July if it had the same length of day as Winnipeg.
Then do the same for Winnipeg with Darwin's day length.

Great thanks yeah that is exactly what I was asking. How did you come up with the 354 and 492 though?

The 356 is about the astronomical value for Darwin. The measurable amount given the equipment would probably be no more than about 345 hours (subtract about 20 minutes a day). So realistically about 91% of the possible.
