I don't know where this 1986 hrs Jersey figure keeps coming from, the UK Met office doesn't give anything close to that, it claims that it's in the early 1900's.
The Jersey Met Office, I'm tempted to take that with a pinch of salt. The UK Met Office gives different figures, according to Wikipedia at least.
Well they are an official separate entity, Jersey & the rest of the Channel Islands are not part of the UK...
Perhaps they are using the last 30 years, rather than 81-10? But I doubt they are just making the figures up.
Visby had 2122.6 hours of sunshine between 2002-2016. Can't find older stats except that the 1961-90 value was 1882 hours.
Hoburg (southern edge of Gotland) had 1880 hours between 1961-90 so will look that one up too
Hoburg has had 2114.1 sunshine hours the last 15 years but have in 2015 and 2016 recorded 2343 and 2342 hours respectively, the two highest ever levels recorded in terms of sunshine in an official Swedish station in a year! The previous record was 2333 hours at Svenska Högarna, a small islet east of Stockholm back in 2011. Almost all sunshine records have been broken in the last few years.
Strange thing about the 2015 record of Hoburg was that it was a pretty wet and seemingly gloomy summer in this region

Perhaps, but I'd just be more inclined to use UK Met Office figures, less likely to have some kind of agenda. Perhaps I'm too suspicious, I'll have to take a closer looks at both sets of figures.
1894 hours in the last 15 years in Norrköping, which is my nearest station. Sounds pretty reasonable for how it feels. Quite gloomy but seemingly always interchangeable with a few hours of sun!
