Climate Battle: Ağrı (Turkey), Ottawa (Canada)

[rpvan]

Agri.

They're both great climates, but I prefer the dry season in summer rather than winter. Hot days and cool nights are a great combo.

They are similar, but I choose Otawa for the more precipitation and less sunshine hours.

So you'd prefer Ardahan to Ağrı?

In other climate battle, which was between Ardahan and Ottawa, you choosed Ardahan and said that you don't like snow. Ağrı is snowier than Ardahan.

Record snow thickness for Ağrı is 225 cm.

Record snow thickness for Ardahan is 113 cm.

Both are good, but Ağrı seems more comfortable in summer.

Ağrı and Ardahan both look simliar to climates in the mountains of western Canada and northwest USA.

For example, compare Ağrı to Kalispell, Montana. It's not quite as continental, but yearly averages are the same and precipitation is very similar. Or Havre, Montana which has closer temperatures but is much drier.

Ardahan is similar to Edmonton or Red Deer, Alberta. Nights are a little warm in summer in Edmonton, but outside of the city it's closer. Here's climate data for Edmonton International Airport (metric only).

Agri for the hotter summers and less snow.

P.S. Agri is winning. Maybe Ottawa is just a crappy climate.
