Climate Battle: Seattle vs. Atlanta (record, sunny, cloud, months)

[Tall Traveler]

I prefer Atlanta's climate which is one of the best in the eastern half of the country. Seattle has a great summer but the winter and spring is too cloudy and overcast.

I grew up in the south and my best friends live near Seattle so I visit them fairly often.

Seattle 8 days a week over Atlanta. Not even close.

(yes, I've never lived in Seattle so maybe every day I wouldn't like it blah blah blah....but IMO the gray and overcast beats Atlanta's terrible heat and like anywhere in the south, in the case of a winter event the entire city shuts down.)

Seattle is better in almost every aspect, including the weather. I'd love those 65 F summer days.

Best part is legal weed .

You don't smoke weed anyways. Daddy won't let you.




I choose Seattle. Both have crap climates but at least Seattle is comfortable in summer and closer to hefty amounts of snow.

I like Atlanta's climate. After spending a few years in Texas for college, the heat isn't bad at all in Atlanta. After living up in PA with no A/C for a few weeks, summers in Atlanta with AC everywhere aren't bad. Spring and Fall are beautiful. Winter isn't that bad (compared to what I'll have to endure this winter) and sunset isn't til around 530. Longer winter days are really nice.

I was walking around the Atlanta area today. Even with temperatures in the 70s, and a slight breeze, it was still quite humid and not very comfortable.

I feel the same way. Seattle has the Cascades nearby. If one wants their snow fix, it's there. In Atlanta, if I want snow, I would have to travel several states north or west to get it.

If his Daddy is anything like the Indian guys at work last summer, he will. I usually think of Indians as quite straight sort of folks though.

This is a hard one. Atlanta is a winter climate brother, so the winters will be good. Awfully hot in summer though.

Seattle is decent for about 5 months, but it's winter, is like Dunedin on acid.

I will need longer to consider .... I shall give my decision after sunset.

Seattle: cooler year-round and cloudier.

The humid eastern US will always win easily over any thunderless wasteland of the west coast.
