en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redding,_California#Climate en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penrith,_New_South_Wales#Climate Both cities are known for bogans. Penriffffff has very high thunderstorm activity compared to Renmark and Failbourne, and Reddinggggggggggg is much warmer than Portland year round. Redding is insane in how warm it is for its latitude - summers are as hot as outback South Australia, and winters are milder than Hobart with less wind. Although all of the inland PNW can be described as warm for the latitude, very few places beat Redding in that category because of Redding's unique geography - it is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and a heat source on the fourth side. Redding's sun figure is far too high, considering the frequent storminess often coming with overcast in winter. The real figure is likely around 3400-3500 hours. My choice? Penriff, FUCKEN! Much more pleasant in summer, rainfall is only a few inches less with the benefit of more storms, and winters are a bit milder.

Close. I like the drier winters and thunderstorms of Penrith but I like the chance of snow in Redding and it doesn’t have too many rain days in winter. Redding also has too long summers.
I’ll go with Penrith for now but it’s close.

Redding, quite easily; however, if you wanted to represent Western Sydney better, then you should've gone with Richmond, NSW: And how on Earth does Penrith yield a –1.4° C record low?! That is warmer than Bankstown! Methinks you are using averages that are a little too recent (i.e. narrow period span)—always use the longer-term stations, matey. Richmond is also hotter; recorded 47.8° C in January 1939, the hottest ever in Sydney (without Penrith's UHI-influenced 47.3° C in 2017, too!)—being right on the lee on the Central Tablelands, the föhn effect is quite pronounced at Richmond RAAF. Richmond (or the real Penrith) would've easily won this for me. A final word of advice: do NOT use narrow period spans, matey!

Penrith for milder summers and wetter summers with more thunder, but it's close because Redding has the better winters.

I've had to think about this one a bit. I'll go with Redding over the Penroids, for the more reliably hot summers, but it's close.

Easily Penrith for less seasonal range, and more evenly distributed rainfall. However, Redding has more rain and sunshine

PenrithLess potential for cold year-round, and has cooler and wetter summers but manages to have better record highs . Great climate.
