The Sunshine State…Hardly

 

Primer on Space Weather

Florida calls itself the Sunshine State, but that honor really belongs to Arizona.  Of the US cities with the most sunny days, Yuma and Phoenix, Arizona are numbers 1 and 2.  On the average, Yuma enjoys 242 sunny days each and Phoenix has 211. Tucson, Arizona is number 7 with 193 sunny days in a typical year. Even Flagstaff, Arizona, located in the cool mountain pines is in the top 30. The first time a Florida city makes the list is Apachicola, which ranks 52nd.
