Two places with the same name, one on the Sub Continent, one on the Island Continent. In fact the Queensland Surat was gazetted and named by a Govt Surveyor whose former place of residence was Surat, India. Surat, India has an extreme wet/dry monsoonal climate, Surat, QLD has a semi arid climate with a higher summer months rainfall bias. As with many inland sites in Queensland, rainfall swings between droughts and floods and can be unreliable. SURAT, IN:    SURAT, AU     |

Voted the Gujarat one for being a more interesting climate. The Arabian Sea-moderated temperatures and contrast between the extreme dryness of most of the year with the torrential (for the number of precipitation days) rain during the monsoon make for a very unique climate. Pity the Wiki page for Surat QLD doesn't give the etymology: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surat_(disambiguation) |

Pity the Wiki page for Surat QLD doesn't give the etymology: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surat_(disambiguation)It's one of the reasons I love the extreme monsoonal climates....the long droughts with the landscapes and surrounding countryside looking dry and dead, the anticipation of the first rains, then the renewal of life as the monsoons blow in, replenishing the land with all that watery goodness ! For example my region of Darwin has been at record dry levels for November, only 26mm for the month so far, then a ball tearer of a storm blew in this afternoon, dropping 46mm ( nearly 2") in less than an hour ! Monsoonal wet/dry climates are truely outstanding !! |

The Indian one is too humid in summer with too extreme of a wet/dry season.

The one in India for sure. The QLD one isn't bad either but the Indian one has a beautiful dry season even if the monsoon is a bit on the extreme side.

Aussie for being cooler and likely sunnier, although drier. Also, how can a place be stuck at a UV index of 7 for most months of the year?
