But the first one I linked to was from a post by wavehunter - I'm asking where that map was accessed originally.

That map shows the area around Tallahassee as the cloudiest in June...while it's in the sunniest shading on the other one! WTF?

Aswan and Luxor in Upper Egypt must be the sunniest large cities on Earth : the sky is never partly cloudy over there

The green areas and some of the yellow areas are the ones I like. They have about the right amount of sun.
