do you think Portland has better winters than your climate? For year-around? About the same, maybe my winters are slightly better. Higher chances of cold waves here and less rain. But Portland has more sun and more pleasant temps. Year-round Portland is much better. The only advantage here outside of winter is the higher summer rainfall but thunderstorms are not common here either, so not a big plus. |

With what relative humidity % or dewpoint? –7° C (4.67% RH) and below is a standard DP for 41° C. |

"Tundra standard is 50'N" "standard dew point for 41'C is -7'C). Most places that aren't full blown deserts are going to have 5-15'C DPs at 41'C |

Phoenix averaged 15'C DP with a 41'C average high this July for example, and Phoenix isn't really known for its humid heat.

Places like Cowra, Temora or Young NSW can never register such ridiculous dewpoints. By the way, the standard that I gave for 41° C was for a dry 41° C, not whatever humid tropical gayshit you've felt.  |

When it was 41.1C here last summer the dew point was 6.1C.

When it was 41.1C here last summer the dew point was 6.1C. Alright, I'd say. Much unlike that ridiculous 15° C dewpoint at 41° C in Phoenix that Baba reported...   |

It was awful, was really windy & felt like a hair dryer blowing in your face... But yeah humid heat, which we normally get here, is much worse. |

Well, according to Weatherspark, Las Vegas has an average heat index high of 37'C in July, and Honolulu 33'C. Though to be fair, Singapore gets a 39'C average heat index in the hottest month which has an average high of 32'C.

Honolulu averages a dewpoint of 17-21°C. Not dry, but not high enough to make 30°C feel anywhere close to a dry 41°C

Honolulu is similar to here in that although we get little to no rain it is still very humid, though generally it is quite pleasant there most of the time as they don't get extreme heat.

Honolulu and it's not even close. Honolulu is pretty much close to my ideal climate. An A+  |

Speaking of Portland. Alot of tv series and movies are located there. Whenever I've watched a movie and I think the surrounding landscape and vegetation looks like outside my window, it's almost always in Oregon (or Washington), when I look it up.
Why is this? The climate is much more similar to Northern Italy/southern France than to Scandinavia.

I have felt many of them, and were much better than those tropical 30° C bastards! Ivanhoe was far more comfortable than Brisbane, for example. |

It would be wrong to suggest that negative DPs are super common though, they're most likely going to be in the single digits and not much higher than 10C in the inland parts of NSW. On 40+ days anyway. Dew points in the high teens and low 20s aren't unheard of either, just not when it's super hot.

The climate is much more similar to Northern Italy/southern France than to Scandinavia. The area is also the main inspiration for Springfield in The Simpsons . |

Yes, dew points do tend to be a lot higher in the winter months, hence the cooler "feels like" temperatures compared to the coastal regions. NSW also tends to be much windier about the inland ranges and tablelands than the coast. |

Looks like we have quite the battle here. I never thought Portlaand vs Honolulu would be so close.
