Two locations on the windward side of their respective ranges; much alike in altitude, latitude, and geography; too with a similar PoR. Albury is actually slightly cooler than Nashville, which is in sharp contradiction to the commonly-touted "AU is warmer than the US for the latitude"—now we can see that it's total and utter nonsense. Ultimately I decided on Nashville, due chiefly to its beautiful spring wet-season (although I would despise Nashville's extreme winter variability). Albury is just far too dry overall. • Albury, NSW (15.8° C annual mean @ 36.07° S, 164 m AMSL):   • Nashville, TN (16.0° C annual mean @ 36.12° N, 183 m AMSL):   |

Albury. Far superior summers and precip pattern. Wish winter was wetter, though.

Nashville for much better cold waves and more rain.

Tough choice. Albury gets better heat waves and is drier, but Nashville has better averages and winter variation. I'll give a slight edge to Albury

Albury wins it for having drier summers and milder winter record lows (and less snow as well), but both are decent climates.

Nashville for being in the superior übermensch Northern Hemisphere instead of the swarthy brachycephalic Southern Hemisphere.
Aye! Mark my words Aboniggerby Failer!

Albury, reluctantly ( memories of unheated dormitories at boarding school in the 1970's )

Albury all the way. Aussie climates are always superior to USA east ones.
If Nashville is on the windward side, why are Raleigh and Columbia (which are on the lee side) not noticeably drier and warmer? Or am I missing something?

Nashville. Winters aren't that much colder but the summers are much better (warmer lows, much more rain / storms) and the climate as a whole is just much more dynamic and interesting.

Likely because most winter systems in the US are of N'ly flow, as opposed to W'ly flow. Much more latitudinal in trajectory than AU fronts which are rather longitudinal. |

Nashville by far. Much more interesting and better chances for cold and snow Snow in Albury is as rare as rocking horse shit, but it has happened historically.  Dean Street Albury NSW, Snow, July 15th. 1966  View from East Albury July 15th, 1966. It has also snowed on August 1849 and laid 4in deep for three or four days. Also May 24th 1857, And August 1863.

^Doesn't mean much when Nashville gets snow like that pretty much every year (or most years).

I'm going with Nashville, much colder winters with snow possible if you live out in the suburbs.
