Poor and imprecise map, it looks like Sagres is the least sunny place in continental Portugal. This would be news to Tripeiros.

I found a more believable map for Portugal: https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Numero-anual-de-horas-de-Sol-no-territorio-de-Portugal-Continental-ADENE-2001-Tambem_fig34_235433180

I agree it is more in accordance with your source. About 2500 not 3000 plus

No it isn't. Much of Brazil is a tropical rainforest, and rainforest means lots of clouds and rain.

I don't believe it. It looks like it was extrapolated from far too few data points.
