This climate battle will pit two Georgian coastal cities against one another, but they are located thousands of miles apart in different Georgias.
Brunswick Georgia, United States has a classic humid subtropical climate with a pronounced summer rainfall peak.
Poti Georgia on the Black Sea coast has a cooler subtropical rainforest climate, with heavy rainfall throughout the year, and a pronounced autumn peak. |

I'll go with Poti for having less summer humidity, more cold rain, and being cooler overall. Brunswick is a bit too warm for me.

Probably Potty although it depends on precipitation days

They both have washout summers but at least Poti's isn't stiflingly hot and humid.

A classic 'humid subtropical climate....' yeah ok, but the Southern Hemisphere begs to differ....although personally I think it is 'subtropical', despite those record lows.
"Poti Georgia on the Black Sea coast has a cooler subtropical rainforest climate, with heavy rainfall throughout the year, and a pronounced autumn peak."
Seriously ?!...subfuckentropical in Russia ? I want some of those 'shrooms the Wiki author was been consuming...lol !
7.1c average winter month means ain't subtropical.

BrunswickYn0hTnA was right: the US South is a subtropical paradise. greysrigging what's your subtropical cutoff? 10C mean in the coldest month?

Yeah, 10c is about right I think....although a case could be made for 8c. I think 10C would be the best isotherm. A mean of 10C in the coldest month seems to correlate with vegetation: In the US East coast: - Coldest month above 10C = subtropical rainforest, swamp, bayou - Coldest month below 10C = temperate deciduous forest In China: - Coldest month above 10C = subtropical rainforest - Coldest month below 10C = temperate deciduous forest In South Brazil - Coldest month above 10C = subtropical rainforest - Coldest month below 10C = temperate coniferous forest, pampas It makes no sense how locations with deciduous vegetation are classified as subtropical. |

Brunswick. Black Sea coast climates have the most pathetically low sunshine hours, at times even lower than the fucking UK!

Poti for having good temps and less summer humidity, even if it’s a bit wet

Drive on I-95 from Washington DC to North Carolina and you will notice how the vegetation goes from almost entirely deciduous in DC to longleaf / loblolly pine dominated in NC. Thus, I use a mean of 5C in the coldest month to denote subtropicality, assuming that the summers are sufficiently warm. This isotherm also roughly corresponds with the northern native limit of Sabal palmettos in North Carolina / SE Virginia border region. |

Not trying to start the whole subtropical debate in this thread either...lol, but I use the 'human factor' as opposed to the 'vegetation biome' ( so beloved of former member Joe90 of Moteuka fame ) Even a 5c mean in the winter months is as cold as witches tit. Thats likely winter max/min temps of 10c ( 50f )/0c ( 32f ) or 7c/3c, 12c/-2c or whatever.... light years away from something by definition of the name 'SUBtropical ie; something a bit cooler/drier than tropical. By human factor I mean clothing we would wear for comforts sake....5c winter means, girls/women ( and blokes ) are covered up/rugged up. In SUBtropical AU, not so much...lol. As I've said in other threads, I don't particularly think its the 7 warmer months that defines 'SUBtropicallity', its the 5 cooler months, in particular the 3 winter months. |

Poti easily - more comfortable temperatures and higher rainfall.

Brunswick. Black Sea coast climates have the most pathetically low sunshine hours, at times even lower than the fucking UK! Nearby Batumi apparently has around 1950 sunshine hours per year on average, fairly cloudy, sunnier than most places in England, make of that what you will. |

Nearby Batumi apparently has around 1950 sunshine hours per year on average, fairly cloudy, sunnier than most places in England, make of that what you will. Batumi is the saving grace of the Black Sea coast, because shit hits the fan as one moves west towards Rize and Trabzon (aka humid subtropical Londons with their feeble 1,600-ish hours). Anapa to the north of the BS has around 2,300 hours of sun but it's winters are quite chilly for me. |

Brunswick for being drier with likely less drizzle; and likely almost 1000 more annual sunshine hours
