Subject: [AZ-Observing] Percent of Possible Sunshine
> In addition to not seeing a lot of starlight this Autumn/Winter, it seemed
like we're also not seeing a lot of sunlight. Here is a table of the last
few months of data for percent of possible sunshine from the Phoenix NWS
office, with a comparison to the averages and lows since 1896. The daytime
cloudiness has been bad, but not extremely so.

February sunshine, as that would be like saying that the Suns are on track
to win 70 games when they were midway through the season.
