Both would feel like winter to me but Rome would feel like very late winter /early spring switchover - i frequently comment how i think Nov and March can feel like a winter (or a spring month )

Rome is pretty much like that all winter .

If you looks at the yearly daytime temperatures, Motueka is closer to Ipswich than Rome. He often likes to compare his location to southern Europe to make himself feel all exotic

He's a fruitcake Razza Funny thing is Ipswich is one of the colder locations in winter in the UK lol


looking at some milder winter areas, Isles of Scilly just manages to outdo Rome for 1 month (January) on the mean.

never noticed that before lol . Rome less cloudy though

I've made the Southsea comparison before, certainly not perfect, but he prefers to align himself with the Romans and Portuguese

Although I think it's unfair to call him a fruitcake, he is very defensive when it comes to NZ's climate.

Indeed I am, which is why I like your location. Nothing extreme, but I do like to feel the chill.

you will certainly get that here in January

We get it here to an extent, just not quite a much as I'd hope. The cold snaps seem a bit deeper though.

I remember one night in Liverpool ,New years eve 2008 /2009 it must have been ...it was really cold .

-5 i think ,and clearly the locals weren't used to it - not sure where that cold came from - it took me by surprise .

The rest of the time the winter was standard 8 or 9c type stuff

I'm not in Liverpool. I remember walking home in December when it was -5C, brrrrr. Well I say that, it wasn't even cold, I came prepared

It's refreshing lol ... yeah ,i know you are near Chester/Hawarden Razza - Liverpool is the only NW England location i have spent any time for reference.

and Torbay in the SW - that was really mild in winter
