Two very different climates, both approximately at the same latitude. Which one of these climates is better in your opinion?
Wellington:
Averaging 2,055 hours of sunshine per year, the climate of Wellington is temperate marine, (Köppen: Cfb), generally moderate all year round with warm summers and mild winters, and rarely sees temperatures above 26 °C (79 °F) or below 4 °C (39 °F). The hottest recorded temperature in the city is 31.1 °C (88 °F) recorded on 20 February 1896, while −1.9 °C (29 °F) is the coldest. The city is notorious for its southerly blasts in winter, which may make the temperature feel much colder. It is generally very windy all year round with high rainfall; average annual rainfall is 1,250 mm (49 in), June and July being the wettest months. Frosts are quite common in the hill suburbs and the Hutt Valley between May and September. Snow is very rare at low altitudes, although snow fell on the city and many other parts of the Wellington region during separate events on 25 July 2011 and 15 August 2011. Snow at higher altitudes is more common, with light flurries recorded in higher suburbs every few years.
On 29 January 2019, the suburb of Kelburn (instruments near the Metservice building in the Wellington Botanic Garden) reached 30.3 °C (87 °F), the highest temperature since records began in 1927.
Shenyang:
Shenyang has a monsoon-influenced humid continental climate (Köppen Dwa) characterized by hot, humid summers due to the monsoon, and dry, cold winters due to the Siberian anticyclone. The four seasons here are distinctive. Nearly half of the annual rainfall occurs in July and August. Monthly mean temperatures range from −11.4 °C (11.5 °F) in January to 24.9 °C (76.8 °F) in July, for an annual average of 8.6 °C (47.5 °F). The frost-free period is 183 days, which is long considering the severity of the winters. The city receives 2,421 hours of bright sunshine annually; monthly percent of possible ranges from 42 percent in July to 64 percent in February. Extreme temperatures range from −33.1 °C (−28 °F) to 39.3 °C (103 °F).

Shenyang. Yes it’s much colder that Wellington in winter but it’s a dry cold. 15C in Wellington feels colder than -15C in Shenyang.

Shenyang has proper summers and winters, while Wellington is seasonless and boring.

Wellington. It's not amazing, but Shenyang is a cold dry monsoonal shithole. Wellington is comfy year-round.

Wellington clearly. A record low of only -1.9C and never any sub freezing days.
Shenyang is way too cold in winter.

I'm sure you won't change your vote but I don't think you'd call Wellington comfy after living there. Ok, maybe Wellington ain't so comfy, but it's certainly more comfy than Shenyang, and no amount of wind is changing that. Wellington it is. |
