How can you say that if you haven't checked the local Met Office website? Just because another site gives different numbers doesn't mean Wiki is wrong. I've seen a lot of bogus stats on other websites.

Lyon indeed gets 2001.9 hours per annum, annual temps are spot on as well:
CLIMAT %%% par Météo-France - Normales et relevés sur la station de %%%

Leon airport gets 2672.9 hours over the same time frame, looks like your source uses the 1971-2000 normals:
Valores climatológicos normales: León, Virgen del Camino - Agencia Estatal de Meteorología - AEMET. Gobierno de España


As for me, Lyon for the warmer summers and more rain. I like its sunshine stats too. Both have lackluster winters.

I kind of paused at that one too - lol.

I've been to both Spain and France - with the exception of right near the Mediteranean, it would be hard to believe their sunshine hrs are close.

Leon for cooler and snowier winters and cooler summers.

Though winter averages 4.1°C in both cities. Leon is cooler during the rest of the year, but not in winter (chillier nights but milder days than Lyon). Over the 1961-1990 period, Lyon had 20 days with snowfall per year (just snowfall, not necessarily accumulating). Probably much less nowadays. Leon currently (1981-2010) averages 11 "días de nieve" (not sure if it's the same definition as Meteo France's). Maybe similar to what Lyon gets?

This is a tough one for me. León is a bit too dry and perhaps a bit monotonously sunny during the summer, while Lyon's summer nights are too warm and muggy and it's a bit dull during the winter. Both though are B+, quite good climates overall, and a climate with leon's temps and lyon's precip would merit an A/A-. I think I'd narrowly choose Lyon due to its lushness.

Lyon is already a C, and Leon works out to D+.

It's a tie. León for more sunshine and Lyon for more precip and slightly warmer temps.
