In the UK, April 2020 was the sunniest April on record (224 hours of bright sunshine), and May 2020 was the sunniest month on record (626 hours).
Now, how much time UK citizens spent in the sun compared to those in other countries is a different question, but "less sun" doesn't appear to be the answer at face value.

- devdas 6y agoYou also need the sun at a higher angle to get enough UV exposure (vitamin D creation is triggered by UV B exposure). More sunshine isn't enough.
