These two are actually quite alike geographically, both at the same latitude and both are at the tip of a peninsula that is surrounded by cold ass ocean.   |

I'll go for the promontory, Point Reyes makes it look like fucking Broome.

Those climates ought to be frigging impossible, but I'll go with the Aussie crummerfest. That one's sorta liveable at least.

The Victorian climate, without a fucken doubt. California always manages to have the shittiest climates.  |

The 19s/20s with one heat spike is pretty annoying, though  Also lommy this is 20° closer to the equator than you  |

One peculiarity about Wilsons Prom is the unusual temp profiles and spikes that can occur in a hot airmass just ahead of a cold front. I recall seeing one instance of temps around 36C at 2am there. |

Point Reyes is mostly covered in thick fog for what is the warmer half of the year inland.

The lighthouse weather station data fo October 2006 to July 2013 is available here: wrcc.dri.edu/cgi-bin/rawMAIN.pl?nvpreythe above climate averages are from 1914-1943, so this link is more current. Also has solar radiation data, might be convertable to sunshine? Would need to go day by day for hourly radiation to get % of possible though |

Point Reyes is just disgraceful. They should send prisoners to there instead of Guantanamo Bay because living in that climate by itself is torture enough

I'll be the first to choose Point Reyes. The temperatures are a bit like Wellington, but with seasonal lag and a mediterranean precipitation pattern.

Only 72 days >0.02 cm for point Reyes.
Im choosing point Reyes. Temps are shit for both places but precipitation is so much better there.

Wilson's Promontory, but good god both of these places are complete shithouse climates. I think I snoozed off while reading the climate charts for both places.

I wouldn't be surprised if Point Reyes was full of cold nasty drizzle year round 0.01” is a tiny threshold. I doubt there’s much more days than that. Also, I’d much rather have 70 days of rain and 50 days of drizzle than 180 days of rain. |

Only for the three winter months winter -all other months are warmer in Wellington with the summer maximum averaging 7C warmer in Wellington. A 7C difference isn't really what I'd consider the same - That would be liking saying that Seattle is a bit like Atlanta for summer temperatures. Wellington is actually very similar to Wilson's Promontory for temperature, although wetter and with many days less rainfall. |

One of the rare nice day at Point Reyes, weather station is near the lighthouse  different part of the park, clouded over next day |

I recall seeing one instance of temps around 36C at 2am there. impressive heat for sticking out into the ocean. Nowhere similar in California could manage that. Maybe because a hot northerly airmass wouldn't cross any water? |

Point Reyes is mostly covered in thick fog for what is the warmer half of the year inland. Bloody hell. Looked at the link you posted for the 2012 heat wave and Point Reyes didn't rise above 16°C all July long! Makes Eureka seem like a subtropical paradise  |
