These are two sizeable regional centres in Australia with similar names and latitudes - Albany is at 35°S and Albury 36°S. Albany has a warm-summer Mediterranean climate, with changeable summers characteristic of the southern Australian coastline. Meanwhile, Albury has a humid subtropical climate, but with some Med influences due to winter westerly systems. Which place do you prefer? Albany, Western Australia  Albury, New South Wales  |

Err, no...Albury is light years away from a 'humid subtropical climate', in fact not even close.... Cold as a witches tit in winter ( especially in unheated boarding school dormitories in the winter months, AND 5.00am swimming training in sub 10c mins in summer. Albury in the winter months is colder than Melbourne....and sure as hell Melbourne ain't humid 'subtropical'.... Remember, its not the summer months that defines 'subtropical' its the winters. Anywhere in the Southern Hemisphere, this ain't 'subtropical'  |

And Albany WA is renowned Australia wide as having a COAT of a climate....even the sorry arse bastards who live there hate it... lol. The Airport site certainly ain't representative of the Town site, despite being only 12 klm away ( inland ). The Airport AWS has been up and running since 2012, The Town site since 1907. The Town site is right on the coast ( as is the Town ), the Airport is 12klm inland. Here is a sample of summer 2022 for both sites ( max temps ) Albany Town and Albany Airport.  Note that the 44.2c day on the 5th Feb 2022, it was only 28.5c in Town on the coast ( 12klm away ) |

Both of these are good climates, but Albany wins it due to its rainy winters and dry summers.

Albury for having colder though still very mild and subtropical winters. Also presumably more thunderstorms.

Albury for having colder though still very mild and subtropical winters. Also presumably more thunderstorms. A snowy day in Albury in July 1966. Never saw snow there in my 5 years at school in Albury but we used to get a few sleety type days most winters. Trust me... nothing subtropique about an Albury winter....mostly damp overcast typical of Southern NSW and North Eastern VIC A few thunderstorms in Spring/early Summer, but nothing like n e NSW or s e QLQ  |

As for the snow pic from nearly 60 years ago: lol. There are tropical climates that have seen snow more recently than that. |

Albany for wet winters, dry summers, and its summers seem decent based on the data greysrigging showed

Where was I when this thread was made?
Anyway, rather strangely and surprisingly (since I like sunnier climates) I'll begrudgingly go with Albany for the much lesser frosts.

Forgot to comment on my thread, but I'll go with Albury for more storms and seasonality. Both places are decent though.
