Somebody has been playing with the sunshine hour figures on Wikipedia. They were 2,300-ish and now they're reduced to 2,191. What the hell?  Is that the actual figure or is someone trolling Melbourne's climate box? I am not bothered to calculate and convert the daily sunshine hours to monthly figures. Can you guys check up on that and confirm that Wikipedia edit? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melbourne#Climatewww.bom.gov.au/climate/averages/tables/cw_086071_All.shtml P.S. I just noticed that BOM has only recorded Melbourne's sunshine hours for 13 years...From 1955 to 1967. Poor Melbourne, even BOM gave up on it. Lmao.  Still, a foolish thing, considering that it's a major city in Australia. |

Why did you make this a thread? Anyway they're fine with the 1991-2020 averages (which are from 2 different sites in the city) but they insist on this stupid 1955-1967 sunshine average. Sheesh.
The ~2384 hours is from Melbourne Airport, which has 20 years of sunshine data. Idk why it was changed back though.

People in City-Data are all foreigners and have no idea about Aussie climate stats. Anyway, the editor was Subtropical-Man. He's obsessed with changing climate boxes for his own needs and benefit. The guy removed Sydney's record highs and lows for some reason, but thankfully his edits were reverted. |

People often say that the airport is the sunniest place in the metro area, but i highly doubt the difference is 200 hours annually between the CBD and the airport. Not to mention that it's most definitely gotten sunnier between 1967 and now. |

That prick gave me a warning about "vandalism" when I added the AEMET records/average humidity back to the Valencia weather box on the main page; he was clearly supporting . |

The Airport and CBD stations have 1990 to 2023 solar radiation figures:   |
