Wausau: C- Turin: C- Oamaru: D-
I think Wausau edges out Turin due to more snow and less cool rain but it's very close. Turin has slightly better temperatures though.

Turin rather easily for me. Oamaru is simply too chilly year round to beat it, even though Turin is a bit meh, especially during peak season warmth and cold.
Wausau is a horrible climate in so many aspects.

Turin is the best of these three.

Turin for me, I thought the summers would be hotter and drier than that but obviously not.
Those foehn winds would be interesting to experience every now and then, plus given that it's near mountains you probably don't have far to go for a change in weather.

Here are 3 different climates situated near the 45th Latitude line. (Wausau, Turin and Oamaru) That Turin graphic has something strange, I've just noticed it. First of all, the weather station in Turin Giardini Reali (in the city center) has been operating only since 2004, while the table table says that the averages are for the period 1971-2000. In addition, the values seem the same reported in the wikipedia page of the weather station in Torino Caselle (so referred to the airport outside the city). In this very moment I'm thinking to make my own averages with the data from the weather station in the center of the city (for the period 2004-2016), it could be interesting to compare them with the ones on wikipedia Turin for me, I thought the summers would be hotter and drier than that but obviously not. Those foehn winds would be interesting to experience every now and then, plus given that it's near mountains you probably don't have far to go for a change in weather. During summer heatwaves (which are pretty common) the city is much warmer than that, highs above 30Β°C are not rare at all. Also, if the table is really referred to the airport it is really likely that the summer averages in the city center are actually warmer than that. The most impressive results in this regard were observed in July 2015, that month the average high was 36.4Β°C and the average low was 20.6Β°C (referring to the real weather station of Torino Giardini Reali). About summer precipitations instead, Turin can be a good place for people who like thunderstorms & co. About foehn wind, it influences quite a lot the weather in the city but the actual wind is usually limited to the valleys. Turin is affected with a increasing of the temperature, decreasing in humidity and generally clearer skies, but the wind gusts rarely go that far from the mountains. This is also linked to your last point: the near mountain localities do actually often have different weather conditions than the city. For example summer days are usually sensibly cooler in the nearer valleys than in the city (even at low altitude), while during the winter any locality at an higher altitude than the city and the Po plain are less likely to have that "greyish" common in Turin ( this. That picture was taken yesterday). In the mountains you are also much more likely to see snow, of course.

Torino takes the winner spot slightly over Oamaru. There's no major bothered seasons and they have quite decent record highs especially in summer months

Torino. Had Oamaru had more than 2200h of sinshine I would've picked that one. As it seems, Oamaru only has like 1800h though.
