I voted Singapore. Brisbane may not truly be tropical and it does have deviations in temperature during the winter. But look at the tropical vegetation growing in Brisbane. That would never be able to grow in New Orleans, simply because the average temps in New Orleans in winter are cooler but ALSO because the cold snaps New Orleans gets are more extreme. In all honesty though, Brisbane's climate is more similar to Daytona Beach or Tampa in Central Florida.
Of course the feel of a place also depends on the environment and vegetation in addition to the ambient temperature. Moreover, as far as non-seeing things go, coconut trees and other tender tropical species obviously behave as if Brisbane is more like Singapore than New Orleans. The coconut palms are voting with their fronds and fruit, as it were.
Where I'm going with this is that I've decided Brisbane is the new Singapore. A month like this really changes things:
Once the Cold Epoch over the US South dissipates, New Orleans, and the rest of the Coastal South, will return back to their natural warm states, warm enough for coconuts, and other tropicals to grow. And in such a warm state, the chance of an ice day would be equivalent to that of snow in hell...

Data to support your claims please. Unless you want us to believe a wicked witch has cast a spell over the area condemning it to years of mercilessly cold weather?

I've provided data, and articles numerous times on this thread concerning the Cold Epoch over North America. Go look it up.

Only because of the Cold Epoch currently over the Eastern US. Once the Cold Epoch vanishes, New Orleans and the rest of the South will resemble Singapore, even more so than Brisbane probably.

Why does the mod allow this troll to keep spewing his BS?

Winters are very similar to Central Florida but with more moderate summer temperatures. Brisbane looks like an improved version of Orlando's climate overall.
A few cold snaps during the year doesn't change anything. They can still grow lots of tropical plants in New Orleans. The cold is over in a few days.
Getting that yearly cold spell is enough to prevent many species from growing in NO that thrive in Brissie.
