Least winter sun

Possible direct sun on December 21 at the town centre or main settled place, as a share of what open, level ground gets, with the hills taken into account (worked out from the terrain). 310 places ranked; 8 not ranked because the point sits at the foot of a slope; one other has no figure (the elevation data doesn't cover all the hills around it).

Winter sun

What this map shows

Possible direct sun on December 21 at the town centre or main settled place, as a share of what open, level ground gets, with the hills taken into account (worked out from the terrain)

The strongest colour is about the top tenth of places with a figure; the fainter ones hold about the next 15%, 20% and 25%, and the faintest about the lowest 30%. Places with the same figure share a colour, so a group can hold a little more or less. Measures that take only a few values, poor-air days and hardiness zones, are grouped by fixed classes instead, marked on the bar at their edges. Places with no figure, or too small a base to rank, are left uncoloured. Lot lines are the province's open parcel map (ParcelMap BC): it shows titled lots and most Crown parcels, and its sizes are mapped, not surveyed.

All 310 places

Most December sun: Richmond (8 h of 8 h), Kootenay Boundary E / West Boundary (7 h 50 min of 7 h 50 min), Delta (8 h of 8 h). Open ground itself gets from 5 h 40 min of December sun in the far north to 8 h 10 min in the south, so the share is what compares valleys fairly; in hours, Esquimalt (8 h of 8 h 10 min) gets the most.

Places whose town centre or main settled place sits at the foot of a slope aren't ranked: level ground within 500 m gets an hour or more of December sun that the spot doesn't, so the figure describes that spot, not the valley. They are listed below the ranking with their figures.

Beside each figure: hours of possible direct sun on December 21 against open ground, and where they're measured (the town centre, an electoral area's main settled place, or the middle of the place where it has neither).
