In these tables, the average numbers of Sunny Days for places in New Hampshire are the total days each month or year when the sky is mostly clear. This includes the days when cloud covers up to 30% of the sky during daylight hours.

Partly Sunny Days have cloud covering from 40% to 70% of the sky during the daytime.

Amount of Sun

Here's another way to look at how much sunshine New Hampshire normally gets. The % Sun numbers measure the percentage of time between sunrise and sunset that sunshine reaches the ground. Again, these amounts are averages based on decades of weather observations.

The Total Hours figures are the average number of sunny hours that a place has each month or in a year, taken from data collected for 1961 to 1990.
