Dear Melissa Bray,

I am after the sunshine hours for Botanic Gardens not the temperatures.

CliFlo does show sunshine hours but it is recorded at fewer stations
compared to rainfall or temperature. Christchurch Botanical Gardens has 2
climate stations – one manual and the other one is automated. Neither of
these stations measure sunshine.

 

There are 2 sites with sunshine data that are approx. 8 km from the
botanic gardens (listed below).

The Airport site (agent: 4843) has data going back to 1949 while the
Bromley site begins in 2019. The data can be accessed via CliFlo.

 

Name Agent Network Latitude Longitude
Number Number (dec.deg) (dec.deg)
Bromley Ews 43967 H3257J -43.52828 172.72096
Christchurch Aero 4843 H32451 -43.493 172.537

 

 

Ngâ mihi
