Percentage of possible sunshine. The percentage of sun is the daily amount of sunshine divided by the total available at the site. So, for a winter day with 8 hours of sunshine available that had 6 hours of sunshine, the percentage would be 75%. For a summer day with 8 hours of sunshine out of 16 possible, the percentage would be 50. This number is averaged for all years available which is either none or the years 1984-1990. 3, record 2, English, - percentage%20of%20possible%20sunshine
