Which climate to you would feel more "summery" or "summer-like" during the warmest months of the year?

Vancouver. At least you will probably see more 80 degrees day
In my personal taste, both has great climate!

Is this a trick question?

Vancouver has higher summer averages and more sunshine, so obviously Vancouver is my pick.

Further north with cooler summers.

Anyways Vancouver is more summery than Wellington.

Not sure about this one.

Vancouver is also warmer than here in summer, but Canadians I've known over the years give the thumbs up to summer here, over Vancouver.

I choose Vancouver though. Wellington's worst summer weather is probably much worse

Neither; they both suck at summer and fail in doing it properly.

Why bother replying with a non answer?

I taked to someone recently who had lived in both, for a long period.

They thought that Vancouver had great summer weather, but the thought of winter marred it, whereas in Wellington, warm, sunny weather could be expected at any time of the year.



I understand the point about the thought of winter affecting summer. i've heard others say it about cold winter climates and would probably think it about myself, if winters here were worse.

Vancouver is drier, warmer and sunnier.

Vancouver has slightly higher temps and is sunnier, although Wellington has a higher humidity and probably higher avg dew points in summer as well, and a higher sun angle.

I would go for Vancouver, by a margin
