North Western European verses an Indian Ocean island..... half way around the world from each other....two very different climates....
Which one do you prefer ?
ROTTERDAM:
Climate:
Rotterdam experiences a temperate oceanic climate (Köppen climate classification Cfb) similar to all of the coastal areas in the Netherlands. Located near to the coast, its climate is slightly milder than locations further inland. Winters are cool with frequent cold days, while the summers are mild to warm, with occasional hot temperatures. Temperature rises above 30 °C on average 4 days each summer, while (night) temperatures can drop below -5 °C during winter for short periods of time, mostly during periods of sustained easterly (continental) winds. Precipitation is generally moderate throughout the year, although spring and summer (particularly before August) are relatively drier and sunnier, while autumn and winter are cloudier with more frequent rain (or snow). The following climate data is from the airport, which is slightly cooler than the city, being surrounded by water canals which make the climate milder and with a higher relative humidity. The city has an urban heat island, especially inside the city centre.
ROTTNEST ISLAND:
'Rotto' has a reputation of being a bit of a 'party island', which has lead to the popular pasttime of getting 'Blotto on Rotto'....
Unfortunately, getting 'blotto on Rotto' often results in episodes of 'Quokka soccer'....
Climate:
Rottnest Island has a Mediterranean climate (Köppen climate classification Csa) with warm dry summers and mild wet winters. Although the summers get little rain, they are humid.
