We all wish for clear skies so we can enjoy a scenic walk on a crisp winters day, and it always helps to have the sun shining when taking the kids out to pick the perfect Christmas tree, but are you in the sunniest spot in the UK?
Citysuites analysed the last decade of hours of sunshine recorded by weather stations across the UK, to find out where the UK gets the majority of its vitamin D during the darkest time of the year.
The data had some surprising results, highlighting that Northern Ireland clocked in the most rays, with 4365 hours of sunshine recorded in the last ten winters.
In Winter 2019 alone, Northern Ireland saw three times as much sun than Scotland!
Citysuites also found the perfect COVID safe outdoor activity for anyone to get involved in, so you can really take advantage of the clear sunny skies this winter!

Those in the West Midlands can still get a thrill, using an app to solve clues as you walk through Birmingham city centre to find historic landmarks that have a spooky tale behind them.
