Sun

Some sun

  • Summer lunchtimes: almost always in the sun
  • Summer evenings, 5 to 9pm: mostly in shade
  • Spring and September lunchtimes: in the sun most of the time
  • Winter lunchtimes: in shade
  • About 527 hours of sunshine a year, allowing for Plymouth's cloud

We looked at the pavement or terrace on the north-facing side, in front of the pub. The west side, within 30 metres, gets noticeably more.
