Tropical climates have more rain fall than oceanic climates, but at the same time have more sunshine as well. I was in Miami a year ago and it rained every single afternoon for about an hour. Came down in buckets, probably 50mm at a time. However it would be sunny right afterwards. Miami records 3154 hours of sunshine. Even if you slashed 200 hours off of it to go down to CS values it would still be over 2900

It's from Kew Gardens.

427 is still a lower number than 453, what's your problem with it?

It's still lower, especially when people always use London as an example of somewhere that rains all the time, and Miami as a place that has short showers.

Chicago receives precip on 126 days, but where do you find data for total hours of precip?
