These Montana Cities Get The Most Sun Each Year

If You Love Sun, You'll Love These Montana Cities

With winter in full swing and the end of daylight savings time, it can sometimes feel during this time of year as if Montana is in a state of perpetual darkness.

Now we know that isn't true, because even in the winter months there are sunny days, and it might surprise you just how sunny some cities in the Big Sky state can be.

Why The Sun Is Good For You

Sunny skies do more than just make the day seem brighter; they can actually make your mood brighter as well.

During the winter months, with less sun and more time spent indoors, your body starts to lack Vitamin D.

The lack of sunshine leads to what is called Seasonal Affective Disorder, or SAD, which can explain why you might feel a bit more down in the dumps during the long winter months in Montana.

Thankfully, there are ways to combat SAD; the biggest one is you being as active as you can while the sun is out.

If your daily life doesn't allow you to get outside, you could try a Light Box, which gives you artificial light, mimicking outdoor light.

However, if you live in one of the following cities in the gallery below, you might be doing OK, as they see sunny skies almost 50% of the year; that's according to the website Current Results.
