Climate battle: Seattle vs. Wellington (NZ)

[Corey the Otter]

Seattle due to the more distinct seasons and slightly more sunshine overall.

Did the same thing with Vancouver and Victoria. Person clearly hates the PNW and is just trolling.

I think that's the big difference. Seattle has nicer summers but Wellington's are probably "good enough" and the winters tip the balance.

Wellington is very windy, not sure I would like that.

I am honestly glad that Wellington isn't as warm/hot as Seattle, due to June 2021. Also, there doesn't seem to be a dry summer, so I'd say it's an A-, not an A+ because of one thing: cloudy winters. Overall good climate

Yes and no - it tends to get big wind events, with much of the rest of the time not feeling much different to most other places.

Wellington does get a lot of windy weather, wind is a feature of the Wellington climate.

It is, but imo it's the strong contrast between the windy and the calm that is most noticeable.

It wasn't particularly windy when I was in Wellington. That must mean something.
