Climate battle: Beijing vs Moscow

[Clodius et Claudius.]

Really, you should pit Moscow against Harbin or Quebec!

Harbin, is on average, in January, -11 degrees farenheit. It is below freezing 24/7 for a third of the year.

I would still pick Moscow for the cooler summers and snowier winters. Harbin's hot summers and bone dry winters are too nasty for my taste.

This is an interesting climate battle. It's basically dry cold winters climate versus humid cold ones.

Moist, damp, gloomy winters (and with snow on top of that) are horrible. So Beijing wins for the dry, sunny winters. Although I do like Moscow's summers more.

Moscow

Never thought I'd choose Moscow ....but it is better than Beijing, just barely.

Moscow is much better. Beijing is a horrible climate. Too hot and rainy during the summer and too dry during the winter.

Beijing for having a long warm period with tropical dewpoints.
Beijing is really muggy in Summer, even more so than people here believe.

Period for these Graphs: 2006-2012 (yes it's a bit short)

I'm gonna have to choose Moscow...

Beijing could be great but it has no snow in winter, is heavily polluted, and really too muggy in the summer...

Moscow is becoming better with time, winters are less cold than they used to be and summers are getting quite warm, although of course I wish they were longer and that winter was not so long.

I don't think pollution is considered as a property of a climate.
