Nice thread.

Tandil, Argentina
Tandil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
37°19′S 59°08′W
188 m asl

Ourense, Spain
Ourense - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
42°20'N 7°52'W
132 m asl

Well, there's a difference in the warmest months of 2°C in the high, and of course that spring heats up more quickly in Tandil, but I think they are a good match in general.

Tandil in January: 27.9°C / 14.4°C
Ourense in July: 29.7°C / 14.6°C

Tandil in July: 12.3°C / 2.5°C
Ourense in January: 12.1°C / 2.9°C

Love this kind of threads!!

Can anyone find a match to this? Buenos Aires - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Remember in one thread it said Charlotte or Savannah were similar, but not quite. Is there a total match for BA climate? Even if its in europe or the middle east(?¿)?
Cause i cant seem to find it, there are places similar in temp, but there are always less/more humid, less/more dry, etcétera.

Also, it called my attention that similar climates in northern/southern hemisphere, always the northern hemisphere is way far from the equator than souther climates?
I guess its true southern climates are colder than northern in similar latitude? (in some cases at least, like both presented here)

Any match for Hong Kong in the southern hemisphere ? Or Sydney in northern? San Diego isn't convincing ; it's way too dry

Valencia, Spain is near.
And since the OP only specified "temperature regime", never mind about precip and other factors.

Only with climates in West Europe (as far as I know), because of the influence of the Gulf Stream there.

If you compare them with North America and Asia, it's the other way around.

wow, interesting. I see Valencia haves warmer winters and colder summers on average. But looking at the stats it seems like Valencia is a bit warmer, though the anual average is 17.7 in BA and 17.8 in Valencia, so almost identical. I see Valencia is similar is sunshine hours, too.


oh, i didnt know that compared to NorthAmerica and Asia is the other way around, though thinking about it, USA winters are waaay waay colder than Argentina winters, and summers are hotter in USA but only in sompe places (while winter in USA is colder everywhere at similar latitudes, right?)

Well, almost everywhere. Just the tiny bit in South Texas and the southern half of Florida have winter temps equal or warmer than the corresponding latitudes in Argentina at least.

Miami, January: 23 C / 16 C Puerto Iguazú, July: 22 C / 11 C (163 m asl)
Tampa, January: 21 C /11 C Santiago del Estero, July: 21 C / 6 C
Jacksonville, January: 18 C / 5 C Monte Caseros, July: 19 C / 9 C
Memphis, January: 10 C / 1 C La Plata, July: 14 C / 5 C
Saint Louis, January: 3 C / -6 C Bahía Blanca 13 C / 3 C
Milwaukee, January: -2 C / -9 C Trelew, July: 12 C / 1 C
Montreal, January: -6 C / -16 C Comodoro Rivadavia, July: 10 C / 3 C
Winnipeg, January: -13 C / -23 C El Calafate, July: 4 C / -3 C

So, you see the difference is enormous in the last case
