Agreed. It doesn't seem right that San Francisco (famously foggy) is ranked less dreary than Denver (famously sunny 300 days a year* and quite arid).
*"300 days of sunshine per year" is frequently cited, even on the official Visit Denver website (https://www.denver.org/meetings/denver-info/weather/ https://www.denver.org/meetings/denver-info/weather/). Having lived in Denver for the last ~15 years, it is very sunny, but "300 days a year" stretches the truth just a bit.
- davidw 1y agoI also live in a "300 days of sunshine" place - Bend, Oregon - where people have examined the number and found it to be a complete fabrication. It seems that 100 or so years ago, promoters decided that was the magic number to attract people.
