Both are roughly on the same latitude. One is classic Mediterranean and the other is humid subtropical. Boring climates by this forum's standards which may not be that different for four seasonal climate lovers, but the rainfall pattern stands out.   |

Shitney, Busselton's crummer lows are very cold, record highs too low, and gets far less storms

"Both are roughly on the same latitude. One is classic Mediterranean and the other is 'warm temperate'. Boring climates by this forum's standards which may not be that different for four seasonal climate lovers, but the rainfall pattern stands out".
Notes/- ^^ fixed the description for you as per the AU BoM.... hahaha....
I'm not a fan of Sydney CBD climatic conditions in Jan/Feb.... always cloudy/gloomy/damp wnen I'm down visiting and head off to the cricket at the SCG.
The west coast south of Perth is cloudy/gloomy/damp in the winter months with the Med pattern.... shoulder seasons ans summer are pretty good.
Toss of a coin for me ... Bussleton won.

Sydney is humid subtropical according to Koppen and Trewartha. I'd take those systems over BOM's narrow and 'Aussie-centric' classification of things (though I wouldn't go as far as throwing Washington DC and NYC in the Humid subtropical boat). Lol. Oh, really? January is usually pretty sunny and the highest temps occur in that month. You must've came during La Nina years. Feb-March can be gloomy and overly wet though. I thought you'd give the edge to Sydney only because of the warmer nights and the sunny, slightly warmer winters. Odd... |

Shitney, better record highs, warmer lows and means, and more precip/storms

Sydney for the more even rainfall pattern
I actually do think Sydney is subtropical, albeit on the lower end. It's got consistent warmth and is relatively humid in summer. The 20c nights they get on repeat is different to climates like mine.

It is actually hilarious how much warmer Sydney is than Melbourne in summer. Sydney is an order of magnitude warmer and nothing less.
Melbourne is London, while Sydney is Malaga.

Busselton for the med pattern and warmer summer highs + sun, plus less overall humidity.

Busselton for the dry summer and winter still not bad

Shitney is better overall, mostly due to the superieur precip pattern.
I do like some dry/hot summer days on occasion but Shitney still gets plenty of those.

Busselton easily, looks like an awesome Mediterranean climate.

Bussleton overall has a calmer, drier more pleasant climate. Though too bad it rains so often during winter.

Would you take that or the southwest coast's 18 days of June rain? Hehehe I understand that Sydney is not subtropical in the Aussie sense (and you've made your point with the links), but in the worldwide view of things it's firmly ST (as per Koppen, Trewartha, Holdridge).

It is actually hilarious how much warmer Sydney is than Melbourne in summer. Sydney is an order of magnitude warmer and nothing less. Melbourne is London, while Sydney is Malaga. Well, the latitude difference (33'S/37'S) is a striking factor and as well as Melb's southern facing position...If Melbourne were in the east coast at Mallacoota's place, you'd get sunnier and slightly warmer winters. Damn, Malaga and Melb are close in latitudes and yet so DIFFERENT - But I wonder, which is a 'normal' climate for their respective latitudes? Malaga at 36'N is ALMOST like Penrith with its average highs throughout the year. Pretty impressive. Didn't realise how warm southern Spain can be, when northwestern Africa (Rabat, Casablanca) at 33'N is cooler in the summer and more akin to Sydney. If you want consistently hot summers in the livable areas of AUS, Perth and Brisbane take the cake. In the NSW coast, maybe you can start from Coffs Harbour? Sydney does have those cloudy, nauseating, feeble, featureless 21C days in the summer (even the odd 19C day is thrown in - which is fucking pathetic in summer as you don't experience such conditions further north in the NSW coast). That said, I ain't complaining. These days are still rare and I'd prefer them over constant muggy 30C conditions where the DP is 21C. Lol. |
