Hot, humid, and cloudy vs. cold, dry, and sunny - which do you prefer? I'm thinking Calgary will probably be the clear winner, but I'm quite interested to see how heat lovers/cold haters will choose - is Chongqing's summer heat and milder winters worth the grotesque sunshine levels? Personally, I choose Calgary all the way. Chongqing's lack of sun is not worth it and those summers are too hot for my liking anyway.   |

Calgary for being drier, sunnier, snowier and more variable.

Calgary by far. There isn't much to write home about for Chongqing.

Calgary has shithouse temps, while Chongquing is almost as cloudy as Macquarie Island.
I would go mental in that sunless environment, not to mention the pollution, so begrudgingly Calgary it is.

As much as Calgary is a shit climate, anything is better than Chongqing.

Easy pick. Calgary is sunny, yes, but too cold and even worse than here most of the year.
Chongqing has very nice temps most of the year, but it's cloudy. Even though clouds are a bit depressing, cold is way more detrimental for my mental health.
And who cares about clouds when it's 35 degrees anyway.

Calgary easily, I can't see any good months in Chongqing. Calgary's averages aren't even that bad, the main drawback would be the wild temperature swings in the winter.

Went to Chengdu about 3 weeks ago for 3 days (a city close to chongqing)....overcast and light rain every day with about 2 hours of sunshine on the last day. So with that said, Calgary easy.

Calgary by a bit; few good months in Chongqing combined with the miserable cloudiness (8% possible ?! Is that a mistake?)
How does Chongqing do with storms? Its summers are wet but east Asia doesn't seem to do thunderstorms that well during the monsoon

Normally I would choose Chongqing, but that cloudiness must be a completely new level of depressing. So Calgary

And snowy. Only in the summer months (June, July and August) it's more likely for snow to not happen. Snow in either May or September (November or March in the southern hemisphere) sucks.
Still, Calgary is way better than Chongqing.

Calgary by a long shot. It's a B- climate vs. an E- climate.

Thing is "Southern California" encompasses a massive range of climates, from boring cold foggy coasts where nothing happens ever to epic inland deserts with epic heat where the summer lows are 10C hotter than the coastal HIGHS and actual occurrences of thunderstorms.

Sorry, should've said southern California as in the immediate coast (Santa Monica, Laguna Beach, San Clemente, San Diego) as well as more hybrid/inland locations like Los Angeles, Riverside, Pomona, and Anaheim. It's all trash for the most part.

Chongqing is better in every way except for sunshine hours, so I'll choose Chongqing. Calgary is horrible!

Chongqing is even cloudier than Torshavn and even though it has otherwise good temps, less than 1,000 sunshine hours annually = automatic F.
Therefore, I'm gonna do something I rarely do, i.e. pick the colder climate, begrudgingly, Calgary (not quite an F climate, but almost there), but I'd resort to substance abuse or kill myself pretty quickly in either of these.
