Wouldn't seasons of the year and Daylight/Standard Time variations factor in? I do know that the Earth's axis is at a different angle to the Sun during the different seasons, and that because the Earth's orbit is elliptical and not circular, the Earth is at different distances from the Sun during the different seasons. Yes, without going into the precise figures (too busy preparing my questions for tonight!), the effect would be much more pronounced during the winter -- when the direct sunlight is most welcome -- than at other times of the year.
