These threads seem to be a trend, so let's try this one.  Take note also that recent years (2015 onwards) have been warmer than this, and with far less snow. |

Mine. Those summer overnight lows and winter lows are too severe for me.
Also, May and September kind of get ruined by the heavy rainfall anyways. I think I'd be able to adapt and it's pretty close to this one, but all in all, it'd needed 4°C cooler July and August lows to beat mine.

Mine. KC is a little warmer than my climate (roughly 5 degrees) and much sunnier. We also get a bit more precipitation.

Kansas City, no doubt about it.

Kansas City. Better in every way.
I’d give it a B, but double the snowfall and cut the precipitation in half and it’s an A.

The fast spring warm-up and non-frigid winters are nice; though less snow would be boring. But the summers are too hot and humid, rather have more pleasant summer months. Winters are quite dry, as is common for much of the western Midwest.

Those summers look a bit more torrid than ideal, but I'll still go with Kansas City. That much sun year-round and the summer-heavy rainfall pattern with plenty of thunderstorms is a definite deal-breaker over my climate.

Kansas City is a surprisingly nice climate. Solid four-season climate with lots of sunshine and pleasant humidity

Kansas City is somewhat better. Winters are better, but maybe a bit colder than preferred. Summer temps in Kansas City look decent. Not really sure which would have better storms - Kansas City probably gets more organized storm systems/squall lines, but my climate probably gets more convective pop-up t-storms, due to the seabreeze.

Mine. Kansas City is slightly the worse version and I assume their thunderstorm frequency count much higher.

Winters are better, but maybe a bit colder than preferred. Maybe on average, but the last two winters have been anything but. 2016-2017 was exceptionally warm, just two snowfalls - one just before Christmas and one on the 5th of January. We were reaching the 70s F by the middle of February. 2015-2016 was slightly colder, but not by much. It's widely variable here. An "average" year doesn't really happen, just two extremes. 2009-2010 was extremely cold and snowy, and according to statistics also 2010-2011, though I didn't live here for that one. Not really sure which would have better storms - Kansas City probably gets more organized storm systems/squall lines, but my climate probably gets more convective pop-up t-storms, due to the seabreeze. Not sure how far inland you are, but rainfall where you are is probably heavier simply because of the humidity. We don't really have "rainy days" here, precipitation is a bit stop-and-start. Storms tend to roll through in "waves" in the summer. Occasionally they pop up spontaneously on very hot days - I seem to remember one in June 2016. It was forecast to reach 99F and be sunny and dry, and then in the evening a massive storm came in from the south with intense wind. Those summers look a bit more torrid than ideal, but I'll still go with Kansas City. That much sun year-round and the summer-heavy rainfall pattern with plenty of thunderstorms is a definite deal-breaker over my climate. USA sunshine hours are exaggerated by about 400 because of differing observation cutoffs, and I really find that 73% number for July hard to believe. We get a lot of very slightly broken cloud here (mostly clouds with the occasional tiny break that the sun reaches through - May and September in particular get a lot of this) and I think they may be counting those days as "sunny" as well. All of that combined, I would estimate it at about 2250-2300 in reality. |

It seems like summer storm complexes often occur overnight in Missouri and the central plains. Here during the summer, they usually pop up from around noon through evening. |

My own. The 2 things Kansas City has over my climate are the avg lows of the 3 summer months and the higher number of storms.

Kansas City, it's better in every sense than down here with the exception of precipitation.

KC. Better winters, stormier and wetter summers and more interesting weather in general.
