It may well be the case that Eastbourne has more gentle weather than Bordeaux, but it doesn't have a sunnier summer than Bordeaux by the most obvious measure - percentage of the day that the sun is shining. Bordeaux takes that honour.
The claim by Easty about the summer sunshine in Eastbourne/Bordeaux, comes after the "more rain days in Sydney etc" fiasco - the lad means well, but clearly needs a bit of help with interpreting climate stats.
Eastbourne gets MORE sunshine hours than Bordeaux in the spring and the summer, that is simply a fact, for some reason you get all 'twisted up inside' over this and you start going into some kind of 'meltdown' over it So you try and 'twist' this fact anyway you can, fact is though Eastbourne has more hours of sunshine in the spring and the summer than Eastbourne, you can't change that fact!

Eastbourne gets 31.7 hours more sunshine than Bordeaux between the beginning of April and the end of August.
Now 'deal with it!' after all its no 'big deal' to everybody else on the planet!
Spring starts in April in Eastbourne and Bordeaux? - Are you saying that Eastbourne has five months of winter, because by denying that March is a spring month, you must be saying that it's a winter month, which would make November- March winter in Eastbourne .... perhaps what you are really trying to say, is that it's a long winter in Eastbourne. Where I come from Spring and Summer are both three months long.
Eastbourne isn't sunnier than Bordeaux during summer - the hours are the same, which means that due to daylight length, Eastbourne would feel noticeably cloudier. Plus Bordeaux airport (only 7 miles from the centre of Bordeaux) is quite a bit sunnier in summer, or during your so called shortened spring/summer, in actual hours.
Face it, Eastbourne would be where you went if you wanted a little less sun during summer, rather than Bordeaux.

Joe90 must have lost his glasses, as your stats and figures seem quite clear to everyone else.
Nope, my glasses are right here.

Here's the original claim - note it says summer only..... poor old Easty has had to create a new season that gives Eastbourne 5 months of winter, in order to make his claim work in terms of actual hours. But even then, the average day will feel sunnier in Bordeaux than Eastbourne during that period, because obviously the sun shines more of the day in Bordeaux.
Maybe Easty is becoming a bit Monty Python - I would suggest the "Ministry of Silly Sunshine Claims"
Bordeaux is not a very sunny city for France
it would be necessary to compare with toulon, here is a real adversary https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toulon

While it's true that Bordeaux isn't known as a sunny city, Easthome has sought to create a false impression about the sunshine between Eastbourne and Bordeaux during summer- I don't think the world needs any more disinformation.
Toulon looks like a great climate, although drier than I like.

Eastbourne has more sunshine hours than Bordeaux between the Beginning of April until the end of Ausgust - Airports or clouds or the price of baked beans doesn't change this rather simple fact - now go and deal with it!
