They are both too hot, but the US wins for being sunny at least.

China always seemed like it would have worse summers due to the warmer average lows.

The average nighttime lows (not extremes) are much cooler in the Southern United States than in China. China has a lower diurnal temperature range and also get less snow and frost than the Southern United States.

Quite the opposite mr. China has much cooler winters in their south. Miami is warmer than Hong Kong and so on and so forth. High temps are terrible given the latitude in southeastern China. And their low temps are hardly "much warmer". Exaggerate much.



I don't know the avg highs are warmer in the southern US it looks to me, and lows not that dramatic considering the far lower latitude of some of these places. And where are the stations in china vs US. airports far afield from the city are quite cooler in US than their urban airports. Look at Charleston to see the difference.



I can only imagine with a billion people crammed into their cities how much heat island impact there is on china low temps.



Take Savannah and Shanghai. roughly same latitude.



Savannah 60.4F/38.6 vs Shanghai at 46.6/35.8F.



Savannah and Charleston both warmer than that low and high temps.



Changhsha same thing and at 28N. Places in Texas and FL and that latitude farm warmer than that.



Chongqing same thing. Charleston and Savannah both higher in latitude have warmer Jan means.



Again, many cities in the southern US have warmer means in Jan than Ganzhou which is at 25N. Miami blows the place away in terms of winter warmth.



The only thing SE China has is stability of temps and low std deviation of the absolute low in winter.


Brunswick GA at 31N has jan avg high/low of 62.5/42. Much warmer than that place at 25N Ganzhou.

I guess London is a tropical paradise then if citrus fruit can be grown there
