(Most visitors are/were National Health Fund financed rest and recuperation visitors.) Sad to say, <a href="http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busko-Zdr%C3%B3j" rel="nofollow">although Polish Wikipedia records</a> that it has a very large number of hours of sunshine, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busko-Zdr%C3%B3j" rel="nofollow">whilst the English version claims:</a> "we have plenty of sunny days", they are only said to have 1,151 hours of sunshine.

Yesterday's <i>Gazeta Stołeczna</i> said that Warsaw enjoyed 2,200 hours of sunshine in 2010. How would Edmonton compare?<br /><br />The July/August comparison is interesting; July is Poland's wettest year. May and June are generally much finer in Warsaw than in England - can you prove/disprove this assertion?<br /><br />The contrast between the two sunrises just two weeks apart is amazing!Michael Dembinskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05657728002439035765noreply@blogger.com
