34° have fairly different climates to say the least depending on hemisphere. 🖕🏿Mörön🖕🏿 asked for this a while back! This is the southernmost latitude on Earth to have land in the Americas, Africa and Oceania and the only one to add New Zealand to that list as well.
Studied climates:
NH: Rabat, Oudja, Sfax, Larnaca, Hama, Qom, Kabul, Srinagar, Xi'an, Zhengzhou, Mokpo, Hiroshima, Shizouka, Los Angeles (downtown), Lake Havasu City, Socorro, Lawton, Little Rock, Huntsville, Wilmington.
SH: Valparaíso, Curicó, San Rafael, General Pico, Junín, Buenos Aires, Montevideo, Punta del Este, Cape Town, George, Port Elizabeth, Mount Barker, Albany (airport), Adelaide, Ouyen, Narrandera, Yass, Nowra and Paihia.
Valparaíso is at 33°S, but there are no coastal climates on 34°S with weatherboxes on Wikipedia in Chile. Some of the climates just straddle 34°S as well.
I also had to use Auckland's records since Paihia lacks those, but they're likely very similar since the Auckland station is in a maritime part of the city and Paihia is also ultra-maritime.
Northern snowfall is estimated based upon it being slightly drier than Atlanta.
Needless to say I'll go with the SH because of the cooler summers and warmer winters. It will probably have a bit more moderate sunshine too which on that latitude is an advantage in summer, probably 3,000 hours in the NH and 2,800 in the SH.
The Southern Hemisphere would definitely have had measureable snowfall every five years or so, but not enough to be 1 cm in any given month.
SH: A+ NH: C-

NH for being more continental.

Care to elaborate and with overall grades, Whöler?  |

surely the NH would have more snowfall than that? Anyways, my vote goes to NH. Interesting comparison. Thanks Schlöngberg. |

Southern hemisphere for me as it's more comfortable overall-- but would prefer a sharper cool season of course..

Care to elaborate and with overall grades, Whöler? Something known as "winter" in the NH climate—it actually exists. Summers, however, are far superior in the SH climate; far more variable. NH climate earns C+ from me (fairly gay); SH climate scrapes the bottom of the barrel with a catastrophic C–. |

NH of course, NH is almost always superior.

I prefer the average of the two (with one of them adjusted by 6 months of course), but if that's not an option I'll take the SH. Both are very good anyways.
NH: B+, a bit too hot in summer and too cold in winter
SH: A-/B+, a bit too cool in summer and too warm in winter
NH is like Atlanta with worse (i.e. lower) precipitation. SH is like Montevideo with worse (i.e. lower) precipitation.

Wow at 34-35 in the northern hemisphere... Wilmington is warm for its latitude!

Wow at 34-35 in the northern hemisphere... Wilmington is warm for its latitude! It appears that way since we are adding elevated climates like Socorro, Qom, Kabul (nearly at 6000', higher than Denver!) and Srinagar (again at 5200") into the calculations instead of their lowland equivalents like Peshawar. Even Hama is at 1000', more comparable to Atlanta and Xian and Oujda is higher at 1330' and 1540'. With Lawton at 1100', this means 4 of the climates are at substantial elevation and 4 are at noticeable elevation compared to Wilmington. Wilmington is definitely colder than the lowland American West, the Middle East/North Africa, and South Asia at the same latitude...it is warmer than the interior US South and Plains [although the latter is at elevation] and lowland east Asia, but has significantly harsher record lows than the Japanese cities (even a bit harsher than Mokpo, and Korea is known for being quite cold for its latitude). |

Southern Hemisphere for the cooler summers.

North easily. More continental and gets some snow.

Northern hemisphere. Summers are overly hot for my liking but otherwise pretty decent, I prefer the higher seasonal variety and cooler winters.

Northern Hemisphere D, southern F+ therefore northern.

They're both bad but SH is worse.
