Where’s the best place to go if you want a bit of sunshine? Why, Reading of course.
It is, according to a new study, the second best place in the country to catch some vitamin D.
Top for tannins is London.
A team from Betway looked at some of the most populated cities (and, cough, towns) around the country, ranking them on sunshine credentials. This included the average number of daylight hours in the year, which month of the year has the most sun, average annual temperature, the number of beaches/distance to the nearest beach, average annual rainfall and how windy the area is (km).
London scored 44.6 out of 70, putting it top of the tree. It includes an average temperature of 11.1°C, while Reading’s overall score was 39.6/70.
The report found that Reading has one of the highest number of average annual daylight hours in the UK, with an average day length of 11 hours and 15 minutes.
Although it has a reputation for being a rainy city, Manchester was third with a score of 29.6/70 – it is the least windy city in the UK, with an average speed of 15.8km.
Bournemouth was fourth, Brighton fifth.
As well as weather, the study also included the most popular/visited landmark, landmark Instagram hashtags, and landmark TikTok discover views in their research.
