Which one of these climates would you prefer? (snow, hot, record)

[arman35]

Djibouti, Djibouti or Jungfraujoch, Switzerland?

Keep in mind that Djibouti has very oppresive humidity creating 130F+ conditions at times and Jungfraujoch is at top of a mountain so it tends to be very windy created subzero windchills during the entire year. Plus the place is buried in snow year-round and hardly gets any sunlight.

Djibouti, I hate cold and lack of sun

[Gentoo]

Wow two extremes. If I could only choose one however, I'd have to go with the mountain top as heat just kills me.

[Snort]

Ja-booty, Ja-booty! Because I couldn't pronounce the other place.

[Weatherfan7]

"Yung Frou yok" I guess it would be pronounced. Probsably wrong . Anyway I'll take Jabooty.

[Siberian High]

Jabooty looks like an extremely ****ty climate. Jungfraujoch by a light year. Jungfraujoch is a C-, and Djibouti is a Z- to the 100th power.

well, hard to explain, but the "u" in "Jung" is definetely rather pronounced as a short form of english "oo" like in "too"... And to explain, how the german "r" and the "ch" are pronounced is rather impossible without talking face to face ;-) german "ch" is kind of between english "ch"/"k" and english "sh", although there are two totally different ways to pronounce a "ch" in german itself depending on after which vowel it stands...

Anyway, I'll choose the Jungfraujoch as I just wouldn't be able to survive in Djibouti

[deneb78]

Djibouti easily..

[pdw]

I love snow! Even snow year-round doesn't bother me one bit, unless I am a farmer and need the sun to grow crops. I love to ski, I love going outside in the cold, and I love the atmosphere of nature in the winter. Now, summer has its benefits as well, but I would opt for as long of a winter as possible, given the choice.

[wawa1992]

Jungfraujoch. It gets a 50% / E-. Djibouti actually gets a negative score. Not only is it oppressively hot for most of the year, but it's also a DESERT. Bye bye.
