Average Sunshine in Wyoming for October
Number of Sunny Days
In the table below, the average number of Sunny Days for a city in Wyoming is the total days this month when the sky is mostly clear. This includes the days when cloud covers up to 30% of the sky during daylight hours.
Partly Sunny Days have cloud covering from 40% to 70% of the sky during the daytime. The rest of the days during October are mainly overcast, with at least 80% cloud cover.
Total Days With Sun is a sum of the Sunny plus Partly Sunny days. All the numbers are averages, made from years of weather watching, for total days in the month.

Casper | 11 | 8 | 19 |
Cheyenne | 13 | 9 | 22 |

Here's another way to look at how much sunshine a city gets. The % Sun number measures the percentage of time between sunrise and sunset that sunshine reaches the ground. Again, these amounts are monthly averages based on many years of weather observations.
City | % Sun |
---|---|
Cheyenne | 69 |
Lander | 67 |
Sheridan | 62 |
