Key West for a two week vacation. Bellingham for every other day of the year.

I think Key West has amazing weather with a nice breeze. Open air bars are everywhere and the temps are moderated by the water around it. Just a tropical place to be. I think you are off base, but if your are from Ottawa I suspect it would be pretty hot for you.

Aren we talking about seabreezes that bring temperatures down from 32C to 26C with dewpoints around 24C-ish? I wouldn't call that nice.

I'm not sure where the sunshine data for Eureka comes from. None of the sources listed had it and it seems much lower than nearby places.

Both places suck. Key west has pleasant, but incredibly boring winters and hot, humid awful summers. Bellingham has far too cool summers and miserable cold rain filled winters. I'll go with Northport, Washington. It's farther borth than the places listed and has a much much better climate.

Ugh I hate the tropical color font on some climates on Wikipedia. Why isn't that phased out already

Anyway I think I'll go for Bellingham for more snow and seasons, though it is boring and oceanic. Even though Key West is attractive with the sunshine and longer period of warmth, I think it's too warm. I like frost in winter, which Key West doesn't offer.
