Which is more likely in a single day in July?: An inch of rain in Los Angeles or an inch of snow in Melbourne? (climate, snowing)

[AdriannaSmiling]

California has such bone dry summers that downtown L.A's all time record for the most rain in the entire month of July was under a quarter of an inch and the average is 0.01.

Los Angeles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Melbourne has a mild, oceanic climate which has recorded flurries and a trace of snow accumulation on a very rare occasion but they haven't ever gotten close to an inch I believe.

So which is more likely in July?

A) An inch of rain in one day in downtown Los Angeles.
B) An inch of snow accumulation in Melbourne at the city weather station (not outlying suburbs)

[Hells Kitchen]

Inch of rain in LA.

[Ariete]

-20C in Melbourne.

[Caleb Yeung]

Of course A.

[The East Frisian]

25 mm of rain on a single day in LA in July?
Maybe from a freak rare thunderstorm there, but i guess this is extraordinary rare.

But also an accumulation of 1 inch in the innercity of Melbourne sounds like a one in a hundred years event.

I think the chances the both are almost equal, but i vote for A

[livinlyftafullest]

the only possible way for an inch of rain in LA is if the south west monsoon could go far west enough to the coast which would be an extraordinary circumstance

[flamingGalah!]

Rain in LA.

Melbourne has only ever had at the most a brief flurry of snow in the CBD...

[Adi from the Brunswicks]

Inch of rain in LA. Would be funny to see all those pampered Hollywood gals complain "UGH, The nasty humidity" in summer on breaking the first sweat . While we New Yorkers laugh and endure oppressive humidity with great effort.

One day record max for July for Los Angeles is 0.6", with the variabilty 1" shouldn't be that much rarer.

Melbourne, 6.0 C / 42.8 F average low in July. Just 5 C / 9 F cooler and there could be snow. What keeps it from snowing near record low temperatures?
