I've seen many threds comparing climate of places situated at completly different geographical positions. I would find interesting to make climate competition of European cities situated on the same latitudinal lines. I think it is interesting to see how much climates can be different just by going east of west, or being close to a sea, or in high altitudes.
I'll give a serie of goups of cities of (about, 5Okm) same latitude, for each group, you'll have to shoose one.

I'll give a serie of goups of cities of (about, 5Okm) same latitude, for each group, you'll have to shoose one.
1. Hard one. Maybe Moscow; althought the winters are too cold and much too dark, the summers are OK in temperature.
2. Undicided between London and Worclaw. London has mild winters, but Wroclaw has descent summer. Dusseldorf lacks the mildness of London's winters without having warmer summers (even a bit cooler it seems).
3. Dnipropetrovsk has nice summers in temperature, but too cold winters, and the lower average mean temp of three. Vienna has colder winters than Paris without having really warmer summers. So by elimination it is Paris.
4. Lyon and Venice ex-aequo (nearly identical climates). Zagreb has quite significantly colder winters, bit less sunshine overwhole, without having warmer summers (a bit cooler summers in Zagreb)
by whatching attentively I noticed that Lyon and Venice are not only at the same latitude but also have almost the exact same climate datas.
5. Nice, far ahead. close to perfect climate. much milder winters than Sarajevo, and milder than Florence. Good summer temperatures but not extreme hot (And if you wand more heat in summer, you just have to drive half an hour in the "arrière pays" and get 32°C mean high temperatures)
6. Naples. For the about the same reasons as Nice. milder winters than in Istanbul or Madrid, less extreme in summer.
1: Moscow - winters much colder than the other two, but very little rain in winter whereas the others have frequent winter rain with temps barely above freezing, which is much worse than cold, snowy weather to me. Summers are also much warmer in Moscow and it has the most annual sunshine.
2: Woclaw - Wroclaw is sunniest with the least winter rain and warmest summers.
3: Vienna - looks like more snow and less rain in winter, but not sure. Dnipropetrovsk gets a lot of winter rain days given the temps.
4: Venice - not much between Venice and Lyon (while Zagreb is significantly colder) so I picked the one with fewer precipitation days.
5: Nice - Nice is nice!
6: Madrid - driest and sunniest.
