Climate Battle: Beijing vs New York City (snowy, sunshine, cloudy)

[RWood]

NYC, because Beijing's higher sunshine hours are compromised by too mnay pollution events.

NYC

Beijing's more stronger continental climate characteristics is a turn off.
Colder in winter, warmer in summer than NYC,
also precip patterns are extreme as well, very dry winter, wetter summer.
Typical monsoon driven climate like most of asia,
I prefer north america's more "even" precipitation.

Last winter we enjoyed a well above normal NYC-like winter,
which was nice with temps almost exactly like a normal NYC winter.
When we have good winter it's like NYC, a bad winter we're like Montreal

Beijing. It's colder in winter, and actually has some cold weather (which NYC completely lacks), and the summer isn't that much hotter. The snow is less in Beijing, but when the snowfall is so meager and melts so quickly in NYC, it doesn't matter as much.

NYC for sure

NYC has plenty of freezing cold days, at least 2-3 months of below freezing lows.

I would probably pick NYC for the slightly milder winters, although Beijing has slightly better summers.

New York City. Even when Beijing is colder in winter, its snowfall is way too low and summers are a bit cooler in NYC.

New York City. China is a craphole.

New York with cooler summer and more snowfalls

New York, cooler summers and warmer winters with precipitation distributed evenly year round.

Definitely NYC. No Siberian high in winter and no monsoon in summer.
