Climate Battle: Texas vs. New South Wales

[Ethereal]

Texas is very extreme. When it's humid it's very humid. When it's hot it's very hot. When it's cold, it's frigid.

NSW is far more mild. The hottest parts aren't that hot.

Texas is not "very extreme," at least not all of it. Only the northern part of the state, especially around the Panhandle, can be considered extreme; the southern part of the state is not that extreme, and has a rather pleasant subtropical climate.

I meant 'extreme' in terms of everything (not just heat). The southern subtropical part is 'extreme' for its humidity despite having mild temps all year round. And compared to NSW, not even their mildest parts get such high dewpoints in the summers and, at the same time, be snowy (if rarely) in the winters.

NSW. Mild winters and mild summers. The coasts are similar to California's. Generally mild year round, but prone to brutal heat waves as they are close to deserts.

NSW for far better summers. If you want cold and snow, Charlotte Pass has more than anywhere in Texas.

I prefer the Texas, New South Wales is too oceanic and has these bad cold night during the summer.

[Wildcat15]

I prefer Southeast Texas for higher humidity and more thunderstorms.

I like the part of Texas around Houston and Louisiana border for their high humidity in summer. Plus nsw is rather oceanic in southern parts and lacks thunderstorms and humidity in my opinion.
