Brisbane for being cooler in general, even though it's more boring

I still have trouble with the 'humid sub tropical' classifications, especially after the pics and videos on the News last week of the Polar Outbreak on that part of the Texas Gulf coast. Aussies dont use the words snow, ice, frost and freezing rain in the same sentences with 'humid sub tropical'.....|
Having said that, the Corpus Christi climate does look OK ( other than the extremes ).
Brisvegas ( as known by Aussies, a slightly derogatory term used sarcastically re the boring factor ) has some quite variable weather, the most interesting being the wicked Spring and early summer thunderstorms, including Supercells and the odd tornado. The City is very floodprone, with the Brisbane River flooding vast areas in 1893, 1974 and 2011. The year I worked in Brissy, I found the winter evenings chilly, mainly because the older style 'Queenslander' house are built for heat mitigation, and don't have any sort of heating.

Brisbane - much better overall climate.
- above freezing record lows
- more comfortable summers
- 500+ more sunshine hours annually
- more precipitation

I like to think of the cold outbreaks in places like the Texas gulf coast like the heat outbreaks in the summer in Melbourne. Nobody classifies Melbourne as not an oceanic climate just because it gets the odd 40C+ day with low humidity in the summer before changing back to its usual pattern. |

I get what you are saying re Melbourne.... but again 'humid sub tropical', snow, ice and cold are polar opposites ( no pun intended ) lol ! |

Tough one, but I'll go with Brisbane for being sunnier and more comfortable year-round.

Corpus Christi because it gets much stronger cold snaps and is generally more interesting.

Brisbane despite the warmer winters and lower seasonality. Corpus Christi is just too hot in the summer.

Brisbane, for exactly the reasons Morningrise said.
Brisbane gets some decent storms on occasion, although nothing like Darwin or FNQ of course.

Brisbane, mate!
It's more boring and has a cooler summer, but Corpus Christi has much colder winter record lows and is very humid in summer for such a dry place. Brissie is also sunnier.

Corpus Christi for being much more interesting. This.
Corpus Christi although hot and boring for my tastes at least has the slight possibility of cold and snow.

Hard one because both of these are great, but I'll go with Brisbane for the above freezing record lows.

Brisbane for sure, very close to my new dream climate. What year are you up to now? Are you getting close?  Easily Brisbane. I like the year round warmth. Glad to see you back here! I'm a big Brisbane fan too - though its temps are a bit too stable in terms of day-to-day variation. Do you have a dream climate at all? |

Brisbane for sure, very close to my new dream climate. What year are you up to now? Are you getting close? Doing the year 2011 tonight, then will calculate the averages on 26th February. |
