Rainless and Sunniest are two different things.

Also rainless is more important so if this is your website just say rainless

Fair! It’s just so hard to say rainless as a catchy title so figured sunniest would work but you’re right, they are different - will have to work on the copy
If you are interested in expanding the definition to 'sunniest' there are some WMO/NOAA stations which measure cloud cover in octaves (where 0/8 is completely sunny and 8/8 is totally cloudy)

A cool indipendent small website that has a summary is ogimet.com

Here is a summary of Chicago O Hare WMO/NOAA Station no. 72530:

Oh thank you - will deffo look into!
I’ve been in the weather space a bit now when developing https://dropory.com, a free service that lets you find the date with the least rain in the last 10 years - for any location. Good for finding a dry event or wedding date.

An FYI: It can take up to 10 min to generate a report - I had a spinner before but people just left the page. So I implemented email as a way to send the report. I’ve never used the emails addresses for anything else than that.

If you don’t want to leave your email, try it with a 10 min disposable email address. All feedback welcome!
