Days of Sunshine Per Year in Wyoming
Number of Sunny Days
In the table below, the average number of Sunny Days for a city in Wyoming is the total days in a 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. The rest of the days are mainly overcast, with at least 80% cloud cover.
Total Days With Sun is a sum of the Sunny plus Partly Sunny days. All the numbers are annual averages, made from years of weather watching.

Cheyenne | 106 | 127 | 233 |

Here's another way to look at how much sunshine a city gets. The % Sun number measures the percentage of time between sunrise and sunset that sunshine reaches the ground. Again, these amounts are yearly averages based on many years of weather observations.
City | % Sun |
---|---|
Cheyenne | 66 |
Lander | 68 |
Sheridan | 63 |
