Most winter sun

Possible direct sun on December 21 at each place's town centre or main settled place, as a share of open ground at the same latitude, from the terrain (computed by us). 308 places ranked; 10 not ranked because the point sits at the foot of a slope; the other 1 is unclear: the elevation model doesn't reach all the hills around it.

All 308, ranked

Next to 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).
