Rainfall is high in the west and south with huge amounts over Dartmoor.
The rain shadows in Exeter and the Otter Valley are much drier though and
the coast gets most sun. Dartmoor and other inland hilly areas can have a
lot of cloud in the warmer season.

True. The Devon weather is very variable depending on location.

Here, 10 miles ESE of Exeter and 6 miles from the sea, going on the last 5
years:

Annual rainfall 700 - 900 mm.
Annual sunshine 1750 - 2000 hours.
Virtually frost-free from April to beginning of November.

Just a few miles further inland and higher up such as the Blackdown Hills,
it's another world. Dunkeswell isn't too far from here and the weather there
is often dramatically different to here, as is the weather in mid-north
Devon and Dartmoor.
