Abstract 5‐year running means and 20‐year averages of annual and seasonal sunshine hours for 11 stations in British Columbia having a record of at least 30 years are discussed. In comparison with the period 1921‐40 sunshine hours have been less in all seasons at most stations for the periods 1901‐20 and 1941‐60. Coastal stations had the greatest change during the summer, but inland stations had the greatest change during the winter. All stations recorded the least change in the spring.
