Which of these two Canadian climates do you prefer?
They have close to the same yearly annual temperature but with Windsor obviously being much more continental with hotter summers and colder winters.
I choose Victoria for the much milder winters with less snowfall and drier summers

Tough choice, I would say Windsor. Warmer summers, stronger sun.

Victoria is very boring and very pleasant.

Windsor has snowy winters and pleasant yet humid summers. The shoulder seasons look very nice here too.

I prefer Windsor.

The biggest problem with Windsor summers ( which are quite likeable in my view ) is smog. Air quality there is some of the worst in the whole country, not helped by being downwind of Detroit.

Victoria for me, as in general, most Csb climates win over Dfa climates for me. I dislike winter more than I like summer.

Easily Windsor. Having a decent summer is more important than having a milder winter, for me.

Victoria, for sure. In fact, that looks pretty close to my ideal climate (and it's not far from my current city!)

Windsor. Victoria is tremendously dull and uninteresting all year round. It isn't even as wet as I thought!

Victoria

Most of the year fits within what's acceptable to me (not that I would necessarily enjoy it though).

The cooler summers are just not worth the barely-there winters of Victoria. Windsor is colder in winter and actually gets a decent amount of snow. Victoria's summers are great whereas Windsor's are pretty lousy, but I'd rather take the continental route.

Windsor winters are not too cold
and it has nice warm summers.
