Climate Battle: Athens, GA Vs. Athens, Greece (tornado, hottest, averages)

[ksolina]

Athens, Georgia for more precipitation.

[Ethereal]

Greece for dry heat and less rain.

[AdriannaSmiling]

Georgia for more variation although the humidity can be a bit much in summer.

[deneb78]

Greece for being drier and having much less standard deviation in the winter...

[Caleb Yeung]

Georgia for more summer rain and chance of cold snowy weather in winter.

[Derek41]

Athens Greece, don't like heat and humidity like that in the Deep South, but didn't realise Athens Greece had such deplorable minimums in July-August either. Prefer Mediterranean rain pattern as well.

[Tall Traveler]

I've been several times to both and I voted Athens, Greece because I prefer lower humidity.

You guys say that Athens, Greece has lower humidity, but then how are its average lows much higher than Athens, GA.

Shouldn't lower humidity = lower lows.

Yes

It is a myth that Mediterranean locations are dry and not humid.

Athens Greece probably has similar or even higher dew points to the location in the US, the only difference is that within 5km of the coast the heat turns dry instead of humid

You have obviously never been to a deep subtropical climate like the deep south USA, Queensland, southeast Asia...etc. The Mediterranean could not hold candle to the dew point temps in humid subtropical/tropical climates. There in different leagues.
