find_sunny_destinations — Find sunny destinations
Ranked answer to "where is it sunny (and warm) in <month>?" — destinations sorted by that month's 0–100 Sunshine Score (long-term climate normals). Filter by continent or country, minimum daytime temperature, population, swimmable sea (≥21°C), or a ceiling on the midday UV index. Every result carries that month's temperatures, rain, midday UV (WHO scale) and sea temperature, plus a citable sunshineatlas.com URL.
