after attempting to parse this moronic dribbling:  I had a more serious thought: can you find any real combinations were a place with 10% monthly sunshine would get more sun than a place with 90% sunshine? I guess that any place with low sunshine totals with 90% sunshine is over Antarctica [or maybe Greenland]. Any other places? As for 10% sunshine, not many subpolar places record that low even in the winter; usually if I see that % it's probably caused obstruction. Some places in China record very low %s in summer, but 10%? Anywhere comes close? |

No he's saying longyearbyen gets more sun in the summer than Umeå would get in a 100% sunshine winter month. Though no real place has that sunny winters at that high a latitude

Though Vostok getd 70h in April evem though sunshine percentage probably is like 90%, and Longyearbyen with a 10% sunshine summer month would get more hours of sun than that.

Though no real place has that sunny winters at that high a latitude Yea that's how interpreted it. A place with really cloudy summers that its months have less sunshine that a place with sunny winters. The 90 and 10% thresholds are almost impossible, maybe at a laxer threshold? |

April in Vostok is around 90%, or at least in some years, and one summer month is 10% most years in Longyearbyen. No place has both though. |

Very cloudy summers and very cold winters are hard to come by. JG had a good one for India. So maybe there's a few more of those in India? Even the cities that are pretty cloudy in the summer (i.e. east Asia), their winters are hardly that sunny (like Shanghai and Taipei).
Mexico City, Kunming and Pretoria come in mind if you're looking for cloudier summers/sunnier winters. If you want a higher percentage of possible sun in winter, then Sydney can count because it has about 66% sun for Jun-Aug, compared to 54% for Dec-Feb.
