Both are as shithouse as each other. A decision between cauliflower and brocolli, rather walk over coals to the nearest KFC.

Vancouver for at least having drier, sunnier summers. Come on, Portsmouth can still be a lot sunnier in the summer. Harumph! Portsmouth is drier with fewer wet days in the summer. Vancouver is sunnier though. Except, July and August in Vancouver have a lower precipitation amount (35mm-ish). That part can compensate a few things. |

They have two climate graphs for Portsmouth. You referenced the 1976-2005 one, which had a drier reading for July than the 1980-2010 August (50.0mm, 7 days). Wouldn't the latter one be representative because it's more recent? Anyway, I realized that both cities appear rather similar in the summer (temp, sunshine and even rainfall wise). Vancouver, however, just has a higher sunshine peak in July and August, although May and June are cloudier than Portsmouth's. You can say, they both equally have pros and cons: *Vancouver has sunnier midsummers *Portsmouth has sunnier springs Since I like really sunny summers, I would still have to be partial towards Vancouver. But only by a hair. |

The 1976/2005 box is more geographically representative since it was located within Portsmouth itself. But the station is now closed, so Lee-On-Solent numbers will have to be used going forward, despite the fact that they have no sunshine stats.

Yeah, one is for Portsmouth and the other is for Lee-on-Solent, which is not in or representative of Portsmouth.

Vancouver. Nevertheless, both are far too warm for their latitudes.

Vancouver because it has a better chance for snow and good cold snaps in winter. Plus much colder winters and much warmer summers aren't too far away in Vancouver.

And the Lee-On-Solent station has been closed now too, since the Coastguard station was moved, & no new station has been set up despite the Met Office telling me that one was going to be  So now the nearest station to Portsmouth that will have updated averages will be Thorney Island, a rural frost hollow in West Sussex  |

Portsmouth for having milder and less rainy winters. You can grow a lot more palms in Portsmouth than Vancouver!  |
