    Rangliste der 50 größten US-Städte nach sonniger Wetterqualität

    [original content] Am meisten "sonnigste Städte" In den Listen werden nur die Sonnenstunden pro Jahr berücksichtigt, weshalb Phoenix und Las Vegas immer an der Spitze stehen. Aber allein die Sonnenstunden lassen nicht darauf schließen, ob das Wetter tatsächlich angenehm ist – ein sonniger Tag mit 45 °C ist nicht dasselbe wie ein sonniger Tag mit 25 °C.

    Um dies zu berücksichtigen, habe ich die jährlichen Sonnenstunden jeder Stadt mit ihrem Komfortindex multipliziert (Quelle: BestPlaces.netSkala von 1–10), die Temperatur, Luftfeuchtigkeit und allgemeine Gemütlichkeit das ganze Jahr über berücksichtigt.

    Wert = Komfortindex × Jährliche Sonnenstunden

    Die kalifornische Küste dominiert die Spitze, wobei LA, San Diego und Long Beach die Top 3 belegen. Miami liegt trotz seines guten Rufs nur auf Platz 31, da die hohe Luftfeuchtigkeit den Komfortwert nach unten zieht. Phoenix und Las Vegas haben von allen Städten auf der Liste die meisten Sonnenstunden, liegen aber unter Berücksichtigung des Komforts im Bereich von 12 bis 14.

      As someone who loves the sun and lives in Portland this is accurate, and depressing.

      I’m tryna move from Buffalo NY to Charleston SC both of these are left off 😔

      Can confirm, I moved from Indianapolis to Sacramento and completely forgot what seasonal depression feels like.

      While I guess it makes sense to use city instead of metro for more localized data (like Oakland vs San Francisco), this ends up leaving off some large entries.

      Orlando, St. Louis, and Pittsburgh metros are all much bigger than Tulsa or Omaha

      This may be the first time Long Beach has ever been considered elite at anything.

      Dallas being closer to Austin and San Antonio than Fort Worth is definitely 🤨

      Yall are fucking crazy ranking Phoenix above Denver that shit is boiling

      As somebody coming from an European place with plenty of both seasonal and day to day variations, living in LA, where ,except for that odd week of light rain in late winter, you know the season has changed only because the gardener changes the color of the flowers, was particularly boring and depressing in an odd way.

      Wild that Tulsa and Oklahoma City are 11 spots apart despite being only like 90 mins away (with no notable topography changes affecting climate). That difference of 0.1 in comfort index seems to be doing some heavy lifting.

      The other day someone told me Denver gets the second most sunny days in the country, so I’m a little surprised we are that far down the list. To be fair, they were probably just full of shit.

      I don’t think the comfort index is all that accurate on a yearly basis and instead should be weighted by month because of variation in temperature and sunniness. Also sun is generally a positive when cold or nice and a negative when really hot. For example, I’ve lived in Austin and Denver which are similar on the annual (7.1 vs 7.3) but the big difference is Denver is way sunnier in the winter and no humidity so the cold months are still nice. In Austin, we’d have months of sun in the summer with 95+ degree weather and I’d pray for just one cloudy day.

      My suggestion is to normalize the score. 31,000 doesn’t mean anything to anyone reading it. But if you converted “sunny hours” into a percentage (of total daylight hours) and then multiply that by comfort score (0-10), you wind up with a normalized number on a scale that is easy to comprehend (0-10).

      Anything that ranks Bakersfield as „Amazing“ should be interpreted with skepticism

      As a Twin Cities resident, it makes sense we’re near the bottom if temperatures are factored in. We probably lead the country in “sunny but sub-zero” days.

      Can we acknowledge that the Sunshine State has only one entry on this list and that city is a short short drive from being out of the state.

      As someone particular about keeping my home between 60-70 degrees, San Francisco is #1 in my heart.
