A sunshine-finding tool that ranks nearby towns by expected direct sunlight, rain, wind, and cloud conditions.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-24 issue.

Field notes

The scan accepts a starting location, date range, radius, and optional weather thresholds before ranking nearby places in list or map form. Its definition of sunshine is unusually concrete: direct sunlight counts only above 120 W/m², rather than simply reporting a cloud-free interval. The page also limits expectations by describing forecasts past roughly seven days as a rough signal, and attributes its forecast and place-name sources to Open-Meteo and GeoNames.
