Default Can anywhere have worse weather than Dundee?

I also note that on their list, Leuchars with an annual average
of 1523 hrs sunshine seems to be highest of the Scottish locations by
a comfortable margin. Is Dundee so very different in that respect?


A little while ago there were boards all over Dundee saying "Dundee:
First electric lighting in Britain" and "Dundee: Sunniest city in
Scotland".

While that's probably true (the sunniest city bit at least), my
complaint is that the sunshine happens when it's cool - or at least,
not hot. When there's really hot weather across the rest of the country
(and I am one of those that love hot, sunny weather), it's often dismal
here.

This weekend, for example, has been utterly, completely, unforgettably
depressing.
