This Yorkshire city gets the least amount of winter sunlight in the whole of the UK

Bradford is exposed to the least amount of sunlight in the UK during winter, researchers found.

Indeed, the West Yorkshire city was found to rack up just 110 sunlight hours during the colder months, according to the research, which was based on Met Office data.

It wasn’t great news for Yorkshire generally, as researchers named it one of the least sunny regions in the UK, alongside the East and West Midlands, while the South East was named the sunniest.

Barnsley and York were also among the locations that saw the least winter sunlight, with 110 and 145 hours of winter sunlight respectively.

The research was conducted to highlight Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) - a form of depression triggered by the changing of the seasons - most commonly the onset of cold and dark winter conditions.
