This phrase " . . . has nine times as many days of sunshine than . . . "

CONTRADICTS to the norms of the English language.

Alan,  if  (and when)  I see at least one gibberish in a post,  I can not trust the rest of the content of the post.

Q = 9V
Q + V = 305

9V + V = 305
10V = 305
V = 30.5 days
Q = 274.5 days
