CryoraptorA303 I don't think 2000 hours at Morecambe is impossible. Improbable yes but it is one of the sunnier locations in the north. As we saw in 2018 Morecambe can record extremely sunny streaks over a week or so due to the coastal location. You would need a 2020 style spring followed by a 2003/1995 style summer and then a sunny autumn.
I think the main issue in the UK is getting consecutive sunny months and we are always vulnerable to extremely dull winter months that would limit the annual total.
