Hi All,
I really didn't know where to go with this question but I figured someone where would be wise to it.
On average over the course of a year what percentage of the time do we have daylight in Ireland?

doubt it, if that were true then it would only be bright from say 7 in the morning till 7 in the evening all year round.

Tough one to work out but its higher than 50%

if you have the time you can work it out from this

This is for sunshine not daylight but might be of some help.

taking ireland as being 53 degrees north, it seems its 12 hrs average for the year.
seems to be the same every where on the planet too.

see here

type in 53 in the latitude box, and select the 'show yearly average' tick box
