Note
Because sunshine is usually uncountable, its plural is uncommon and always a little marked. It appears when separate spells or kinds of sunlight are being counted, as in the "scorching sunshines" of Eliot Warburton's Travels in Egypt and the Holy Land (1859), and occasionally for several people who each bring someone joy. Elsewhere the singular does the work: plenty of sunshine, not many sunshines.
