Lille


Philadelphia is not bad but it has colder winter and
summer is just too warm for my taste ...highs 31C and humid are worse than 23C highs.

(BTW, I've barbequed in less than 10C temps.)
I have barbequed in winter before in temps ranging from 10 to 20c. Not bad pretty enjoyable as long as the sun is out.

Exactly.

Lille has warmer summers than my climate, but I wouldn't choose a Lille summer. over summer here.

Philadelphia is almost an annual average climate twin for my climate, with rain days and sunshine about the same and temperatures close at 6.8C/18.4C and 8/18.1C. Rainfall is a bit less than here though.


If only we had your winters the palms I could grow would be amazing.

I'll take Philly in a New York minute... Both have weak winters, though Philly can see some decent snow. Philly's summers absolutely destroy Lille. No contest.

I have a feeling they can grow more decent winter evergreen vegetation than here though. Unlike most on here, that matters to me and ties perfectly into climate preferences.

I don't know, Lille is only negligibly milder than Philadelphia in the winter, although I imagine it's less prone to erratic temperature swings. Record lows aren't much different however.

You are kidding right? Despite that record low, they are in zone 9a. They will look far more green in winter, and can grow far more than we can.
