Climate Battle: Norfolk,Virginia Vs Seoul,South Korea (warm, temperatures, rainfall)

[ghost-likin]

Both are at 37N,this show the diference beetween the very strong Siberian High vs the Weak North American equivalent:

Norfolk:




Seoul:




I choose Seoul,for being Colder and sunny in Winter and Very rainy in Summer.

The interesting is that winters months having more sunshine hours than Summer,really strange.

I don't really think North America has any winter weak or strong permanent high pressure system. Just low pressure and high pressure fluctuating across the continent all winter long.

I chose Norfolk for the warmer avg lows and warmer overall conditions. I'm thinking of a weekend road trip there in February to see how green it is in winter and how "subtropical" it looks. It's a five hour drive for me, but the drive is nice down thru the Delmarva Peninsula.

I think Norfolk landscape compared to Seoul really looks like subtropical.

Hard to choose. I'd choose Seoul for the colder winters, but these sunshine hours in july are outrageous...

Norfolk has almost exactly the same percentage of sunshine and number of rainy days for every month, how weird.

Both are a bit too rainy for me.

Norfolk for being overall warmer in winter...easy peasy

Rather like it or not, I'm voting for my standardized climate. Nothing beats the true four season climate of Seoul.

Despite Seoul's awesome summer rainfall, it doesn't look like they get much lightning. Plus Norfolk has better temperatures the rest of the year and sunnier.

Norfolk for being warmer overall with more sunshine hours, more evenly balanced rain spread throughout the year, and more thunderstorms.

How are you determining this?
