Are you used to counting sunny hours in the UK on your fingers? Well, you'll need to pack a calculator if you plan on counting such assets while living in the Costa Blanca. This sunny coast receives an average of 12 hours of sunshine per day during the summer and six mighty hours of it per day during the winter. Don't have a calculator handy? We'll save you the trip to the cupboard and tell you it's almost 3000 hours a year.
One calculation you can managed to do with simple hand mathematics is the counting of Costa Blanca's rainy days, they are few and far between. Costa Blanca receives less than half the rain in the UK, with even the wettest months (April, October and November) still only witnessing six or seven days of the wet stuff each.
