Midland, Texas and San Diego, California have semi-arid climates that are around the same average temperature. However, Midland's climate is more seasonal, with dry winters, while San Diego is milder, drier, and receives very little rain in summer. Which climate do you like better? Bonus question: which place would look lusher, based on the climate? MidlandSan Diego

Midland, because rain in the cool season is pointless, no matter how meager the warm season rain is, as it is in Midland.

San Diego, excellent climate! Didn't have to see the averages to make that decision.

I dont mind Midland's climate other than those low temps of a Texas 'blue norther'.... so reluctantly vote San Diego.

Midland
The one that has a warm summer wins by default.

A "bad and worse" kind of climate battle.
Midland.

San Diego for drier summers, more cool rain, and no dry cold. "Coastcuck" ftw

Midland, because rain in the cool season is pointless, no matter how meager the warm season rain is, as it is in Midland. Except you're wrong. Rain in San Diego's cool season is not "pointless". Cool season rainfall is always better.
Even for you many cold rain haters, that say "all rain outside growing season is useless", well, San Diego's growing season is year-round. 66ºF/50ºF averages with no freezes in midwinter mean that that midwinter rain is beneficial to crops.
66ºF/50ºF freezeless weather with 2" of monthly rainfall is much better for growing crops than 96ºF/73ºF with 2" of monthly rainfall.

If you want a parched landscape, then yes, warm season rain is not what you want.

San Diego is pretty much the best climate in the US, so it wins.

Midland for being more interesting. Only on a weather forum would 50% of people think Midland has a better climate than San Diego.

Tough one for me, but midland is more interesting, a bit wetter, and has the potential for snow
