Weekly Viz 2019-10-28

World Cities Ranked by Average Annual Sunshine Hours

About Makeover Monday

MakeoverMonday is a social data project: “Each week we post a link to a chart, and its data, and then you rework the chart. Maybe you retell the story more effectively, or find a new story in the data. We’re curious to see the different approaches you all take. Whether it’s a simple bar chart or an elaborate infographic, we encourage everyone of all skills to partake. Together we can have broader conversations about and with data.”

Starting from Jan 08, 2018, I decided to put aside one hour on Monday weekly to create some visualization and find some insights from the data.

The datasets are published each week at: MakeoverMonday Datasets.

This week’s dataset is about the cities with most and least sunshine hours around the world. You can find the original viz here. The viz is pretty cool – easy to understand radial charts with clear legends. Honest, I am surpirsed that Taipei is the country with 3rd least sunshine hour in Aisa…

My Visualization

I also made some radial charts with a shape similar to the sun to compare the sunshine hours of the US cities :)

Insights

• It’s not surpising that cities with longest sunshine hours are in Arizona, and those with shortest hours are in Alaska and other northern states.
• But I am surprised that San Francisco actually has longer sunshine hours than Honolulu…
