Obviously repetition is your only thought process so I'm out of here. Enjoy your 15 minutes of sunshine... followed by 45 minutes of clouds.

5 hours of sun a day on a different planet in a solar system far away. The day length on this planet is 380 hours and a year is 16 earth years.

Wilko/random1234 still finds this place to be sunny

You're using non traditional logic here - would you care to explain why a day with 75% cloud obscured sun equals sunny, rather than gloomy?

No, it rarely ever gets warm there, at any time of year.

The record high is only 25.7c.

The SE and central south coast of England averages over 5 hours of sun per day, yet outside of summer nobody would call it a sunny place.
