What climate do you prefer overall? The temperatures are mostly pretty similar though Philly is a bit colder in the winter and has considerably warmer summer nights and marginally lower highs. Rainfall scheme is completely different as Kennewick has a dry-summer nearly arid rainfall pattern and Philly is consistently wet throughout the year. Philadelphia gets a lot more snow but neither cities are particularly snowy.
Kennewick's climate would feel more mild overall but it's also extremely dry. Personally I'd say Philadelphia's appeals to me more. I prefer muggy heat over dry heat even though I dislike both and Philly has a more satisfying winter and a lot more greenery.
I agree. Kennewick is kind of a crappy climate. Oppressively hot and sunny summer days and a weak winter that is fairly cold but very lacking in snow.
I agree.
Kennewick climate is amazingly good for it's latitude, compares favorably
with much farther south similar climates like Grand Junction, Colorado or Farmington, NM.
