By clear days meaning the sky is like over 90% clear or nearly cloudless. So not just partly sunny (although that counts as a "sunny day" for many).
Anyway, Sydney has 109.5 clear days and 127.2 cloudy days. So we have more cloudy days.

Supposedly 148.5 clear days and 94.5 cloudy/mostly cloudy days. Idk about that, the cloudy days seems a bit of a stretch...but maybe.

For Melbourne it's 48.6 clear days and 179.4 cloudy days. It feels sunnier than that, but either way we definitely have more cloudy days.

More clear days thank god
My native Shitchester might as well have been called Cloudchester, with only 30 clear days per year on average š¤®

Probably about 50/50 here. Depends on the season, summer and mid-winter are quite sunny, late fall/early winter and late winter/early spring are quite cloudy.

57% possible sunshine annually in NYC, so Iād guess there are slightly more sunny days than cloudy ones here. December is cloudiest at 48%, and August is sunniest at 63%.

Hm I'd presume that NYC still has more overcast days than clear cloudless days, considering its climate & location (so slightly more cloudy days). But I don't know... |

That 57% figure in reality is probably more like 51-53%. |

That 57% figure in reality is probably more like 51-53%. Yeah I know - I've made threads on America's overstated sunshine hours (if one would compare Detroit's sunshine hours to Windsor Canada's). I was just replying to Metsfan where he said that NYC has more sunny days than cloudy days when its climate data says otherwise. |

Kansas City apparently averages 120 clear days.
It feels sunnier than that to me, but I guess where exactly you place the line between clear and not-clear changes the number a lot.
