Referring to me ofc, I have plenty of anecdotes, I just choose not to use them. I prefer data over perceptions. What do you make of B87's anecdote, it surely settles this? Hadn't actually thought of you in my reference. The difference with my anecdote is it's strongly supported by data, while B87's is weakly supported by data - I would still view the anecdotes from those Scottish people as relevant, if they were overwhelmingly consistent, which I suspect they would be. I just assumed so because we had several debates over "anecdotes" back in the day, not sure who else you could be referring to  |

^^^ Is it really much different from somewhere like London though ?- Hampstead Heath has 7C/14.3 for annual temps, compared to Glasgow at 6.2C/12.9C, with around 250 hours of sunshine between them. More than twice the precipitation and 60 more rain days is a huge difference. |

Glasgow.
Although it's far from ideal, it's much better than being stuck in Orlando.

why are you hijacking this thread to talk about london It's stems from my main interest of Oceanic climates, and perception/reality of those climates. As the warmest summers in the UK, London is of particular interest. I'm thinking that London and Glasgow are close enough, that Glasgow would win over Motueka amongst posters on this thread. It wouldn't, motueka is obviously better than glasgow and most people would agree. London and Glasgow are in the same climate group so they're gonna be similar but they're not nearly the same which is what you're trying to argue. |

More than twice the precipitation and 60 more rain days is a huge difference. Yep rain days are significant, but at least it is more likely to be your preferred drizzle. Hampstead heath only has 47 less days of rain than Glasgow The climate of Hampstead is a microclimate on one of the highest points in London though. Most of London is like Heathrow, Kew Gardens or Greenwich. |

The difference is larger than you perceive, Motueka would stomp Glasgow because most posters here recognise that difference between it and London. Can't you take this to the other thread? Those of us engaging in this are derailing the current thread. |

Those of us engaging in this are derailing the current thread. Motueka is the most different of the three, so why wouldn't posters prefer the two that are most similar? You can take it there if you want Temperatures: London 11.4c, Motueka 12.6c, Glasgow 9.6c London and Motueka are closest Rainfall: London 602mm, Motueka 970mm, Glasgow 1245mm Glasgow and Motueka are closest Sun: London 1633hrs, Motueka 2385hrs, Glasgow 1265hrs London and Glasgow are closest |

Temperatures: London and Motueka are closest Rainfall: London and Motueka are closest Sun: London and Glasgow are closest Maximums are more relevant imo, and London/Glasgow are closer in that regard Motueka avg max: 17.4c London avg max: 15.2c Glasgow avg max: 12.9c A 2.2c difference between Motueka and London, a 2.3c difference between London and Glasgow. |

Motueka is worse than London but far better than Glasgow.

Motuek'a's avearge maximum is 18.4C. But I'm referring mainly to the monthly maximum temperatures, as a pattern, combined with cloud patterns. London is Glasgow with warmer summers, not Motueka with cooler winters last thing im gonna say about this but yeah you're right because london has warmer summers |

last thing im gonna say about this but yeah you're right because london has warmer summers I think most here would agree that London and Glasgow are similar in nature, with a pronounced warm season difference, much as Motueka and Rome are similar, with a pronounced warm season difference Very fanciful to compare yourself to Rome, you may find similar patterns, but let's not pretend they're even remotely similar climates to live in. |

Closest 6 months are very similar between the Rome and Motueka, as are sun angle/hours, rainfall and precip patterns - climates start at the bottom for me, and the cool season in Rome and Motueka, are pretty much identical akshully london gets sahara dust in the summer like rome, meanwhile motueka gets none, meaning rome and london's climates are pretty much identical |

So less drizzle is more important to you than snowfall? Motueka is much drier than Glasgow and actually has something called warmth so itβs better. Youβre right, avoiding cold rain is more important than snowfall, especially when itβs not a large amount like Glasgow. In the other thread I already detailed why London beats Motueka. |

Glasgow because it's not a steam bath. The winters suck but hey, we're going through a similar one with even less sun, it's doable.

Orlando. It's not that bad, at least it has plentiful thunderstorms and noticeable seasonal variation.
