Both are tourists spots in their countries. Funny, I had no idea that the two were on the same latitude. I thought Miami was more closer to the equator than Ayers Rock/Uluru was, but the two are roughly on the 25 degree latitude.  Ayers Rock:  Miami:  |

Good thread... me / Uluru is a bit 'meh'....why you might ask ? Well the whole black fella politics thing doesn't sit well with me... 'they' ( blackfella lobby ) managed to get the climb of the Rock banned a few years ago, citing cultural objections/sacred site stuff....well, 42 years ago, local blackfellas were guides on the climb to the summit, there didn't seem to be any cultural objections in 1980....but, as usual. I digress... Its a fantastic place, I've climbed it, walked the nearby Olgas/Kata Tjuta formations ( more spectacular than the Rock in my humble opinion ). It's the politics of the place shits me to tears. The Olgas/Kata Tjuta coming in from Western Australia   Ayres Rock/Uluru   And did y'all know, there was a snowfall ( well a few flurries truth be known back in the late '90's ) at Yulara/Uluru ? www.nfsa.gov.au/collection/curated/snow-uluru#:~:text=No%2C%20it's%20not%20a%20hoax,the%20local%20Pitjantjatjara%20Anangu%20people. Honestly, I prefer Miami's climate ( very similar to Townsville in Far North Queensland ). Uluru/Yulara is a shitty desert climate...lol |

Miami easily. Nigh-perfect temps, tons of storms and a great mix of rain and sun. Uluru is okay too, but too dry and more seasonal range than I like.
Miami vs. Darwin (or Townsville, Cairns, etc.) would be a much harder choice.

Miami
I prefer to have some precipitation, and not to have those chilly nights in the winter.

Miami reluctantly, Uluruβs nicer winters arenβt worth the terrible summers

Both are good climates, but I'll go with Uluru for more heatwaves

Darwin is consistently hot. |

Climate-wise, I'd prefer Miami for a summer vacation.
For an actual place to go, Uluru would definitely be better. And yeah I'd climb it. No human owns it so fuck 'em.

Darwin is consistently hot. The chance of highs in the lower 50s, and even some subfreezing lows, is a major point AGAINST Miami for me. Darwin in the winter/dry season, as far as I'm concerned, is the epitome of comfortable weather. |

Darwin in the winter/dry season, as far as I'm concerned, is the epitome of comfortable weather. Tampa and Orlando can get highs as low as mid 40s or something during vigorous polar blasts -- What would these poor places say? I believe Miami getting lower 50s highs are rare as I can see that in this cold snap the lowest they'd get is 13C, which is like mid 50s. So Miami isn't all bad to me during a winter polar snap. Funnily, its temperatures are just like Sydney's when they're hit by a polar vortex - We get like lower 50s high as well in the coldest winter day. It isn't so bad really. I do agree that Darwin in the dry season is rather nice. But for variety's sake, I do want to experience 50s highs in a climate, whereas for Darwin that's entirely impossible as the lowest maximum temperature recorded there was only 21C (70 F ish). That's laughable for me. |

Not voting because you used the stupid KMIA station Ethereal For the mainland Kendall, FL is representative, for the coast use Miami Beach, FL |

We had that April day a few years ago with the temp around 18.5c all afternoon....hell, I had a flannlette shirt AND a cardigan on that day !! Any colder and I woulda had to put some shoes and socks on my feet.... |
