[edit]

Sunshine duration is about 2,500-2,700 hours per year, from 147 – average 4.7 hours of sunshine per day in December to 338 – average 10.9 hours of sunshine per day in July.[8] With the exception of Madrid,[9] Lisbon[10] and Athens,[11] Rome has the highest UV index between European capitals (only in the continent) and values close to that of Chicago at 41.9 °N as ultraviolet radiation is less interfered with by other geographic variables, but with a moderate annual average with index equal to 5, which allows direct exposure to the sun at some times of the year. Values range from 1 (December) to 9 (July).[12]
