....no love for Hobart?

Sochi is too humid in summer
Also too rainy all year round for me



Hobart is a cold subarctic climate. Anyone that would give it love is a drug addict.

I'm about as far from a drug addict as you can get. I don't even take as much as a sip of alcohol, let alone any other psychotropic drug, even when prescribed by a doctor. Then again, I didn't give all that much love to it (but it's certainly more than many have, judging by the lopsided poll results). Also, Hobart's Koeppen type is Cfb; subarctic begins at Cfc. Then again I'm not sure what definition of subarctic you're using .

I think people who call places like Hobart subarctic have not actually been to a subarctic climate - Hobart is positively tropical by comparison, and doesn't even receive snow - what a pathetic place, but looking at the record high, it's less pathetic for heat lovers than cold lovers.

Sochi gets snow so wins for me even if I vastly prefer the summers in Hobart.

Sochi wins, either way. It has a summer.

Hobart is about as tropical as my tit on a 5C overcast Melbourne morning.

I agree. It was supposed to be an exaggeration of how warm Hobart would seem after looking at and being in and used to the real subarctic. Of course Hobart isn't even close to tropical levels.

Exactly.. Hobart is a boring maritime climate, nowhere near subarctic (but this was also an exaggeration, so whatever )

Ironically though Hobart has the same record low as some tropical climates like Miami and Tampico..

One of the very rare occasions I would choose a Russian climate over an Australian one.

Hobart for me

I think you can grow Canary Island date palms there, not sure
Nice cool summers are better than steamy Sochi
