Which climate would be more comfortable for you:

Shimla, HP, India:

Knoxville, TN, USA:

For me, its Shimla hands down. This is one of the few climates that beats Eastern TN and Western NC hands down.

Shimla would be more comfortable temperature wise for sure, but I would rather have Knoxville's climate. Shimla is too cool during summer, and July and August have more rain than we would get in a year. All that rain along with cool temperatures is just awful.

Frequently, Shimla's climate is a great source of relief for those who seek to escape the extremely hot summers along the Rohilkhand plains. Just 150 km downhill, people regularly experience high temperatures around 40 C (102 F). See the summer temperatures in Chandigarh, located 150 km downhill from Shimla:

In contrast, none of the areas near Knoxville average 100+ F during the summer.

Despite having much colder record lows in winter, I pick Knoxville for having much less snowfall, hotter the rest of the year and more sunshine.
