New Orleans: New Orleans - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Limassol: Limassol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Limassol does have an average of 3310 sunhours yearly (Source: Sunshine & Daylight Hours in Limassol, Cyprus Sunlight, Cloud & Day length


I prefer Limassol, because of the warmer winters without the cold waves that New Orleans gets.

Limassol has a gross dry climate, while the wet and humid weather of New Orleans makes it among my favorite places.

I vote for New Orleans as it is in the Coastal US South, a subtropical paradise; due to the plentiful rainful, humidty, AND sunshine. New Orleans gets cold waves, but every subtropical climate in the world gets such cold waves during the cool season.

I've been to both. New Orleans feels like the Amazing River Valley in the summer. Lemesos (as we Greeks call it) has dry summers, but not too hot thanks to the sea breezes. And not at all humid once you are a couple of hundred meters away from the shore.

Even though both cities have a similar average max in the summer, add the insane humidity levels in New Orleans, and it feels much hotter. At least that was my impression

Go inland in Cyrpus to say Nicosia, it can get stifling hot.

I prefer humid heat, so New Orleans for me

Limassol. The Big Easy (where I'm currently visiting) is too humid.

Bah ha ha!

And again no, not all sub-tropical climates in the world get such cold weather as the US south does

Oh I voted for Limassol...
