Canada's warmest winter city vs. Russia's.
Which do you choose?
Sochi is much warmer throughout the year than Victoria but the difference in winter is smaller, so I choose it in terms of climate.
Other interesting things:
Sochi is much wetter than Victoria throughout the year (almost 3 times as wet!)
Sochi has more snow days - 20 vs. 7.8 for Victoria
They both have roughly the same level of yearly sunshine with Sochi having the sunnier winters and Victoria having the sunnier summers.
Victoria for the more temperate and sunnier (but not rainless!) summers; the additional sunshine Sochi has in meteorological winter over Victoria is really not that much considering the 5° latitude difference. Forum-goers should also keep in mind Sochi's SLOW warming from mid-Jan to mid-Apr
Pretty close to rainless if you ask me. Driest place in Canada during the summer...
Still several days/month with measurable rainfall; rainless would be California, away from the influence of the SW monsoon, and southern Oregon.
