This is an article I spied about moving to the regions. It mentions sunshine hours for said regions.

https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/131459 ... ons-ranked

Is this the new method of measuring sunshine hours or are they overstated?

The sunshine hours that Stuff has quoted are obviously a complete hash-up!
So much so that I'd rate their article as somewhere between 'fake news' and 'misleading information'...

Yeah I thought the hours were on the high side.
