Sunny 16 is more applicable to tropical locations with bright light. Perhaps something like Sunny 11 in Temperate climates? Those were starting points for 100ASA film at 1/100 sec. From there it was all mental arithmetic or the use of tables.

My best "meter" for difficult situations like that is a Kodak Pocket Photo

its suggestions to be right on the mark nearly all the time.
