You prefer London because you’re a sissy fruity person who can’t handle real winters.
I prefer London because I don’t want to pay AC bills.
We are not the same.

Have you ever walked across the country, overnight, with nothing to eat or drink, and no aids whatsoever, and slept just as you are, under the stars with no blanket/sleeping bag? |

I got lost in a forest for 2 days. Similar to my experience then, though I didn't get lost. Still, took ages and not the best night's sleep. |

Just a thought - even though Chicago gets twice as much summer rain as London, Chicago gets about the same number of rainy days. Average number of days over 0.04" (1 mm) of precipitation in JJA in Chicago are 8, 7, and 8 respectively. And I'd be willing to bet London gets more rain hours. I can't find London's data, but even Seattle gets almost 2/3 as many rain hours as Chicago during July and August, despite getting half as many rainy days and a fifth as much rain. Oceanic/oceanic influenced climates tend to be drizzly.   |

From where do you know that, and does it have average rain hours separated by month? |

Chicago for me. Much sunnier and more variation in temperatures.

It was in an old book about the climate of London, but I can't find it anymore. Kew averaged 427 wet hours annually, and January had the highest number at 60. The summer months were around 20. |

Unless you can pull data from a reliable source and make sure it's a fair comparison (like the threshold for measurable rain is the same), this isn't a credible claim. |

London gets about half the number of annual rain hours as Seattle. |

Might switch my vote to Chicago now I see how rainy London truly is. Just constant drizzle, even we don't get as much hours of rain.
