I thought this situation was so rare that I had to do a climate battle. Both of these climates are at the same latitude (46°) but one is a low altitude tundra climate (ET) and the other is a humid subtropical climate (Cfa) at least according to Koppen. Which do you choose? Curious to see how the cold lovers will vote

^This

It's strange how both are at the same latitudes and yet they have completely different climates - humid subtropical and tundra (though it seems more oceanic).

Lugano has subtropical weather conditions and tropical summer rainfall!
I choose the nice mild climate of Lugano.

Lugano looks oceanic to me. Some oceanic climates here have summer rainfall maximums.

I would choose Lugano
