In some of the world\u2019s deserts, the number of sunshine hours is very high, more than 3,600 hours each year. In the Eastern Sahara desert, the sun is covered by clouds for less than 100 hours a year.<\/p><p>Hours of sunshine are usually recorded on a simple machine called a pyrheliometer also known as a Campbell-Stokes recorder. It works by using a glass ball to focus the sunlight and rays onto a strip of card. As the sun moves around during the day, the card is scorched creating a record of how many sunshine hours there were.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f02e662 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f02e662\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-20b8039\" data-id=\"20b8039\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-67a6ed0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"67a6ed0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"334\" src=\"https:\/\/communityweather.org.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Sunshine002.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-417\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/communityweather.org.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Sunshine002.jpeg 512w, https:\/\/communityweather.org.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Sunshine002-300x196.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The amount of sunshine we have depends on latitude and how much cloud there is in the sky.
