Atlanta is Cfa (humid subtropical), or more precisely "Warm temperate fully humid with hot summers".
Humid subtropical is just a subset of subtropical. Las Palmas (BWh) and Rome (Csa) are both subtropical as well.

Both subtropical, so I say ..."look to the plants"

Rome seems like it would be more plant friendly, with Atlanta looking like it can get quite a bit colder at times.

I say Rome seems more subtropical.

Atlanta based on precipitation and humidity patterns.
They both have similar average winter temperatures except Atlanta is subject to far more variability.
Rome has a higher hardiness zone but Atlanta has a more subtropical "feel" unless you are there during a time of a cold snap.

Which is sub-tropical...
This is the true Atlanta RAW averages from the official data, not the fantaisist US "normals"...
Rome use RAW averages from the data (like probably all countries of the world) and never used the US (very strange) "normals" system !
And stop to write st**** things because I absolutely not reduced Rome Ciampino 1981-2010 averages (It looks like you do not want to accept that Rome has lower average temps than Atlanta, no ???)...

Those normals are 1971-2000.
the normals for Atlanta are wrong aswell.
Are you okay ???
Before writing silly things, you should learn my friend...

Ok. I didn't know about them. Do you have 1981-2010 averages for Roma Urbe and Fiumicino?

Hy Joe90.
Yes, but Atlanta can see greater warm spell during the winter time than Rome also Atlanta can easely get in the 70's during the winter while this situation in Rome is almost exceptionnal.
Atlanta has also warmer year average...

I still look at vegetation to get an understanding of a climate, over the year as a whole. I think Rome would have the edge in that regard.

As they're both subtropical, I would ask which climate gets weather furtherest from the subtropical threhold. I would say Atlanta gets more average winter temperatures below 0C, so would say it has subtropical conditions, less of the time.

My town has dry summers. So, do you think my climate is truly subtropical?
