Ghost-(dis)Likin used to shit all over "Australia's ugly eucalyptus trees" back on C-D, and Balmaceda was his primary wank material. He, too, often shat on Cabramurra—so I decided it'd be a good idea to have a battle between the two. I've used the 1955–1999 SMHEA station for Cabramurra; as its 1996–2020 counterpart is just too limited and unrepresentative of usual long-term conditions, owing to drastic shifts in decadal climate drivers succeeding the 2000s.  Cabramurra absolutely sunders this match, IMO. Significantly wetter, snowier, and cloudier winters (by percentage relative to latitude/daylight length), all the whilst avoiding unnecessary extreme cold; warmer, sunnier, and much stormier summers. |

Balmaceda is much better for being drier, more variable and the potential for extreme cold.

Balmaceda, but only because Cabramurra falls into that "no 90'F, automatic F" category. Both climates in terms of temperatures remind me of Scotland, and that's not a good thing.

Balmaceda for being sunnier, drier and having warmer record highs in summer.

For what it's worth, Cabramurra reached 34.0° C (93.2° F) in Jan 2020. Cabramurra also gets significantly warmer min temps; there was a 22.7° / 31.2° C day in Feb 2020, right after the 20.9° / 34.0° C day at the end of Jan. |

I'm afraid that's not an option.  |

When the new official data for the climate box come out to reflect this, Cabramurra will no longer be an automatic F and it would probably rate above Balmaceda - its record lows aren't as freaky. |

Balmaceda for colder temps in winter.
Sorry Ängler!

The climate box is already out ( 1996–2020; from a new station, as the old one closed), but the problem is that it's highly unrepresentative of the usual long-term climate i.e. drastic drop in winter and spring precipitation since the 2000s. You can see this shift very plainly when you compare the two on Wiki. |

Balmaceda because I couldn't take that much cold precip. Both are atrocious.

Balmaceda for being drier. I don't usually look at the area but I looked up both places. Balmaceda looks drier than I expected, not much growing there besides grass and a few trees. However it's not far from impressive scenery with the mountains and wetter areas just to the west. Cabramurra has better scenery in the immediate area, lots more trees and variety of plants. The mountains near Balmaceda are more dramatic than the ones near Cabramurra though.

Balmaceda for colder temps in winter. Sorry Ängler! This. Also more unpredictability. Very close one, both A+ climates. |

Very hard to choose. I like Balma for its dryness but its winters are cloudier than Cabra's.
Ghost-Likin (one of the worst usernames I've ever came across with) always had a problem with anything Australian - Typically the climate and geography. He was so competitive when it came to South America vs Australia, barrel scraping arguments to show how Australia has an inferior climate to South America and was always hating on eucalyptus trees (one of my favourite tree species). I could not stand him. He was the of Brazil.

Hard to choose as both are too cold throughout the year, but I will choose Balmaceda as it is drier and more sunny, even if the nights are colder.

Cabramurra
Ordinarily it would be disqualified because of its sub-90F record high, but it still wins here due to being warmer most of the year. Both climates suck though.
