Hard choice. NYC....barely. More humid summers. But the winters are milder in Lyon, but far sunnier in NYC.

I give it to Lyon for warmer winters. Summers are variable though as just past few days they had 7 in a row below 22C.

And NYC doesn't get over 2500 sun hours. More like 2200 to 2300.

Yeah.. sunshine hours are not as far apart if you take away the inflated US hours..

It's a very close one, but I just go for Lyon for being milder in winter and having a drier summer

New York for more continentality, but there's also another reason. Air-conditioning is much easier to come by in NYC (or almost anywhere else in the Lower 48) than in Lyon. Spend a July in an un-airconditioned south-facing apartment in Lyon and tell me if you still like it . Even Stockholm would be too warm for me in summer for this reason.

Really? A/C seems pointless to me in places that have average highs below 28C.. even then I would only use it on hotter days but I guess some people have different preferences!

There are only a handful of days each year here where I could do with A/C so it's not worth it really
