Sunshine hours going into the final month

It looks like Wellington's November total just scraped over 200 hours, so within 5% of normal.
Even though we are a touch ahead of average for the year to date, it looks impossible for us to get another 2200 hours year (like 2007 and 2008). 2100 may be possible, but with a very cloudy week on the way I think it may turn into a battle just to reach average for 2009. We might not even get 200 hours this month, which would be poor for December.
Where does the rest of the country stand?
Of particular interest would be Whakatane this year! And also the famous Nelson/Blenheim competition, where do they stand and how close are they to each other?
