I voted Waimea, Redding's summers are a bit too hot and dry. Waimea is more boring but the dry and warm seasons does add a bit of flavor, and the dry season is wet enough that plants can still grow with out much irrigation. Where as Redding only drought resistant plants can grow there.
Redding. It actually has differences between seasons and the records are nice. Waimea's record temperatures must be awful. Probably below 95 F / 35 C all time record high, record low probably in the 37-43 F / 3-6 C range. Ugh.
Waimea's climate isn't so easy to identify because there are two sides of the story: Dry side vs. Wet side.
Within a couple miles you will see a transition from practically desert conditions to lush greenery.
Dunno, but the yearly mean rainfall given in the link looks like an average of the two.
A good feature of Waimea is that it never seems hot or especially humid, because of the elevation.
A bad feature is that it's usually windy.
I haven't been to Redding, so can't definitively say, but in general I would vote for Hawaii.
The Redding data looks to be incorrect. This is the correct data.
