While not twins, these climates are certainly cousins, in spite of the 15° higher peak sun angle in Halifax. My choice is for Stockholm, although August in Halifax makes it closer than it otherwise would've been. Ultimately I think all that cold rain in winter while warm fronts arrive from the sea would be extremely annoying there. While Stockholm is way gloomier in winter, at least it rains less and Stockholm has three sunnier months than Halifax' sunniest. I like Halifax' snowfall totals better, but C- vs D+ in the end. Interesting fact: Halifax is a lot more above subarctic than Stockholm (15.2°C vs 12.7°C) but the fifth warmest month is clearly warmer in Stockholm (11.7°C vs 10.1°C). Latitudal difference demonstration if there ever was any    |

Halifax for better winters and slightly more sunshine.

Halifax wins for the precipitation.

Stockholm for being drier.

Halifax for significantly more winter sunshine, wetter summers, and colder winters. Stockholm's average lows are pathetic.

Halifax for the greater precipitation, and colder winter nights.

Very similar but Halifax is more exciting weather-wise.

I think Halifax, warm season lasts a bit longer and has more sun.

Halifax has more interesting winters with the heavy snowfall + a nice summer lag and slow fall cooldown. Lower latitude makes the drop off from summer less sudden.

Halifax does look very similar to Scandinavia at 60N in the months jan-june, except for sunshine obviously. That is quite bad for being at 44N.
From july-nov however Halifax make up for it and looks more similar to places much further south.
Stockholm starts to get depressing in September just like you would expect at this latitude. Halifax on the other hand just continues its summer and September down there probably feels more like July here.
Halifax is like the fat, slow lazy guy we all laugh at who suddenly transforms to a muscular, strong athlete and beats everyone, just before he becomes fat again.
Really annoying in other words. So I voted for Stockholm.

1821h sunshine is outdated. More likely 1880-1920h for 81-10.
And obviously I can't vote against a Swedish climate because Sweden is a temperate heaven unlike subarctique anywhere else.
I prefer Stockholm.

I prefer Stockholm. Stockholm has also warmed since whereas Eastern North America is at a standstill. September is relatively close to 17°C highs in Stockholm the last 15 years and July is even closing in on 24°C highs. The sun at the right time and absence of cold rain really makes Stockholm worthwhile. Replace half of Halifax' winter rain with snow and I might have chosen it. |

Had Halifax had 500-800mm of precipitation I'd have chosen it. And even if it makes me seem like Botev it is true Sweden is warming and getting sunnier unlike the US and UK, or at least by a way larger margin. |

And even if it makes me seem like Botev it is true Sweden is warming and getting sunnier unlike the US and UK, or at least by a way larger margin. It is true. Even months that start off feeling super-cold in spring nowadays often end up at or above average. May last year in the Stockholm region was initially a disaster, yet somehow ended up with 17°C highs. I think the correlation is the increased sun strength through global raises of temperature disproportionally affects areas in hinterlands of warmer waters, thus ensuring Sweden and Finland in particular warm up very fast, whereas areas more governed by the sea proper or has a cold sea to its east fail to reap the same benefits. End result = Seattle and Vancover gets warmer climates due to their shielding from offshore islands, Halifax and New England at a standstill. Stockholm gets warmer, while not much difference at all in Vladivostok or Sapporo. Norway is indeed warming faster than the UK, but Bergen for example is not making extremely noticeable summer gains, unlike Stockholm due to the perpetual cloudiness there. Winters tend to get weaker all throughout Norway though. |

Winters tend to get weaker all throughout Norway though. Sadly the Atlantic coasts seem to get cloudier unlike the Baltic. List/Sylt in the western archipelago of the Jutland peninsula has decreased 150h since 61-90. Wonder if the same is true for Bergen and Norway in general. Scania seems to have got sunnier like the rest of Sweden. Gothenburg, even though it had 1722h vs 1734h compared to Norrköping in 61-90, is only 1780-ish compared to Norrköping's 1895h (IIRC. Btw, how come you haven't added 2002-2016 sunshine for Norrköping considering it's your location's weatherbox?) for 2002-2016, so the Swedish west coast has not seen nearly as much of an increase as the eastern coasts. |
