Nelson has regained its title as the sunshine capital of New Zealand.
The city clocked up 2,571 hours in 2008, 31 hours ahead of Tauranga’s 2,540 hours. 2008 winner Blenheim came in third with 2,466 hours. As a comparison London gets on average 1,500 hours a year!
A great reason to live here – or come for a visit!
