Again, similar aerial topography of the region inspired this thread. Also, both are somewhat 'highland climates' in their respective regions.   |

Irbid because it actually has decent summers.

Irbid ( 620m asl ) has some altitude advantage over Mt Barker ( 359m asl ) Yongala ( 512m asl ) in the SA mid north is somewhat closer to Irbid climatically.  |

I'll put Yongala against Hama Syria in the next battle maybe. I was going with the geography first and how they're located (as per map). |

This thread is yet more proof that SE Aus is the coldest place in the world for the latitude.

Once again the South Aussie one for not having bone dry (precipitation-wise) summers

Irbid. Winters are basically the same, but the summers are much better (especially lows).

Irbid, I guess for having less drizzle and warmer temps in winter

Irbid wins it for the perfectly hot and long summers, warmer springs and falls too.

A record snow fall occurred in Mount Barker during July 1901. The snow fall was much heavier than anything that had been experienced in the past 52 years. Snowflakes steadily started to fall at 6 o’clock on the last Saturday of July and within two hours the ground was an expanse of white with up to 30cm of snow in gullies. When passengers alighted the last train to Mount Barker they had a good snowball fight. It was a risky to venture to go down Gawler Street without a reserve of snowballs as everybody tested their skills and accuracy in throwing the snowballs. Even the local policeman was fair game and only intervened when a few stray snowballs broke some windows and a street lamp. On the Sunday morning snow pyramids up to 3 metres in height were built on Dunn Park oval and crowds of Adelaideans made special trips to the Hills. The snow lasted for several days.
