Which climate do you like more. I have a hard time choosing since they are so similar. I'd probably go with Almaty because snowpack might stick around longer. Almaty, Kazakstan:  Indianapolis, Indiana, USA:  |

I'll give the edge to Almaty for being drier, and slightly sunnier (if you consider that sunshine hours are measured differently outside the U.S.), but it's close.

I'd go for Indianapolis slightly for better precipitation, Almaty is too dry.

I don't see one's taking a huge advantage on temperature swings, precipitation patterns, sunshine hours.
Therefore I'm voting for Almaty just for less lightning frequency.

Indy just because it's wetter, and a little warmer in the shoulder seasons; other than that it's really a draw because they're so similar.
Note, however, that Almaty is three and a half degrees farther north than Indianapolis - only serving to prove what a fail the US climate is for the latitude.

Indianapolis for warmer winters and wetter summers.

Almaty has better temps, but is too dry, so I'm going with Indianapolis.

A small Smithfield NSW company called Sydney Engineering fabricated and installed a huge satellite Antenna dish on the outskirts of Almaty in the mid 1990's on behalf of the Australian OTC and Telecom. I worked for them doing similar projects in Australia shortly after, so I heard all the stories from the employees who did the trip to Kazakhstan and spent 4 months over winter working on the project. The components for the Antenna had to be put into shipping containers and sent via ship all the way from Sydney to Saint Petersburg, then train and trucks via Moscow to Almaty. The transportation took longer than the job to build the Antenna. Being Aussies, the boys packed huge amounts of packaged beer into the containers.... also because they were Aussies, they had no idea of the arctic temps in a Russian Nov/Dec ( they shoulda asked the Germans..... ). So the packaged beer was ruined, frozen etc when the arrived on site and opened the shipping containers. The local riggers they employed to help with the construction introduced our lads to vodka, so not all was lost....haha
The photos I've seen of the Project ( in the hills outside the city of Almaty ) shows very little snow on the ground and clear sunny days. Nights around -10c and as low as -20c some mornings, Days at or just below 0c according to my mates.... was a fair old shock to Aussies climatically.

They are both terrible. I choose neither.
