Both are Australian cities on the same latitude. One is on the west coast and the other is on the eastern end. Which do you prefer?

Geraldton, Western Australia

Or

Brisbane, Queensland

Obviously Geraldton for me. Relieving summer lows and much less humidity.

Will give Geraldton the slight edge for being drier.

Why Australian East Coast is Colder than South America East Coast at same Latitude? maybe the humidity? Aussie Winter are Drier and Allow more Raditional Cooling Effect?

Brisbane. The warmer summer lows and thunderstorms do it for me. Geraldton aldo tends to get quite windy. I prefer Geraldton's record highs though.

The heat there is like a prison!

But Brisbane, because it's wetter. Geraldton looks like too dry in the summer. I don't like places that get too dry, they don't look like Earth. Earth is special because of the rain, why waste this gift, when almost all of the other celestial bodies (except Titan, maybe) don't get any rain? That's why I like (moderately) wet climates.

I do actually. I like the fact that summers are DRY which allows for summer activities without preparing for a sudden thunderstorm to hit.
