Average Spring Sunshine by State

The tables below pull together numbers on the amount of sunshine that each US state usually has during spring. There's information by state on the season's averages for percent, hours and days of sun.

The % Sun number measures the percentage of time between sunrise and sunset that sunshine reaches the ground. Total Hours is the average number of sunny hours a place normally has in spring. Clear Days is the average number of days in spring when cloud covers at most 30 percent of the sky during daylight hours.

All of the numbers are averages of several decades of weather measurements. The spring totals are based on data for the months of March, April and May.

Since so few weather stations measure sunshine, meaningful state-wide averages aren't available. Instead, the tables list a place for each state that represents the state's typical amount of sunshine.
