Well at the latitude of Girona every mile inland means a lot more in summer than it does in say... Scotland
Sunnier but worse than both. The summers are pretty much warmer than my likings, but the real problem are the too cold low averages in 4 months, January even with an average under the freezing line.
Wasn't me who said that, I just agreed with him. Besides Soria is well inland and at almost 1.100m of altitude. That's 3610ft. And you're comparing it to coastal places at the same latitude lol.
Want to compare somewhere at 41ºN at the coast in Spain? Perfect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barcelona#Climate a 18.2ºC year round average. 5ºC more than NY, 7.4ºC more than Providence.
Can we talk now about other thing please? Jesus wept, I was just agreeing with Warszawa. I wasn't saying that it's warmer just because is in Europe lol. You didn't have to extend this thing that long.
I'm extending this thing because I'm tired of a vocal minority of the forum continuously denigrating US climates simply because some far-flung place at a higher latitude is a full tenth of a degree warmer. We all know the original comment (complete with two facepalms) was never intended as an insightful analysis into atmospheric circulation and global ocean currents. Rather it was a gratuitous and misleading attempt to somehow prove climate superiority--as if such a thing is even possible. And then rather than allow the original poster to defend his claim, you have to rush in and try to squeeze every last dying breath out of yet another Spanish climate. So instead of a meaningful conversation as to why Soria has the climate it has, we're left to watch you engage in a raving quibblefest about how much warmer Barcelona is than New York. How is that relevant?

Erm... is the only time where I mentioned Barcelona here lol, just to make a more fair comparison with your comparison to NY.
Btw, doesn't matter... Yes, this thread is about Soria. Why it has that climate? Because it's between higher mountains, at a very high altitude and far from the sea. Besides it's not that cold as I've expected. The big mountain range north of Soria blocks the majority of the rain, Soria has a typical Mediterranean landscape while at the north of the city you can find massive lushy forests and even lakes.
The satellite says it all! (Soria is at the bottom of the pic, surrounded by a green circle)

C-
Finally: what about Pamplona, Zaragoza, Valladolid, Ourense and Madrid? Any challengers to Logroño in there?

I don't get why people have to be PC when talking about Eastern US climates, just be honest and admit that for their latitudes these climates are ****. Keep in mind this is coming from a New Yorker, I am a New Yorker and even I admit the climates here are awful for their latitude. I would kill for New York to have almost any climate in Spain or Italy

Anyways, I would rate this C+
I've no problem with you complaining about New York's climate; that's your prerogative. However, "good climate" and "bad climate" are completely subjective so there's no such thing as "good for latitude" or "bad for latitude". A climate is just "good for you" or "bad for you"--and probably the opposite for someone else.
