How do you rate the climate of the northernmost city in Argentina? (Well, almost! The northernmost city is another one, but just by the skin of one's teeth.)
It's located at 22°S and at 3,442 m (11,293 ft) above sea level.
Really hard to say if I'd prefer this over Vancouver. I mean winters are endlessly sunny, but nights are icy and perilous, and when summer comes it's longer but also prone to lots of rain.
If the sunshine is correct (can't verify - looks a bit on the high side to me) then a B could be fair - higher temps and verified sunshine would be an A+.
This one is a hard one to rate... positives include high sunshine and low rainfall annually.. negatives wet summers and below freezing winter nights. I will give it a C- mainly due to the dry winters and very high sunshine.
Cold nights year-round, but the highs are fairly pleasant. At that latitude and altitude the sun would be really fierce. Like standing directly under a Klieg light, I imagine. Would probably easily add 10 C to the apparent temp and I suspect if you had decent sunlight exposure in your house you wouldn't need to worry much about heating.
I give it a B. If it weren't so dry and sunny it would definitely be in D- territory though.

C- the sunshine amounts save it from a lower score.

Ah, interesting about the sun at that altitude making it feel warmer. I didn't think of this when rating... I'll keep my grade of B as long as I have a parasol.

Good point. I noticed in Chile at altitudes I experienced, varying from 1500m to 4000m, that the very strong sun gave a higher skin temperature sensation.
