After days and days of seemingless endless rain, I think we all felt that same relief when the sun finally peeked out this week. And while Virginia was luckier than some other places on the East Coast, if you’re anything like me, you were ready to move anywhere, as long as it was dry. With that in mind, we thought it would be fun to find the spots in Virginia that offer the most sun. With the help of Sperling’s Best Places, an online resource for city data, we found the following 14 towns and cities that offer the highest average of sunny days every year. With a statewide average of 205 sunny days, these spots offer even more.
Don't let the shade on this street fool you! The Town of South Boston has the highest average of sunny days in the state at 222, with surrounding Halifax County close behind.
