Otematata is probably the closest i'll find anywhere - rainfall looks uncannily the same too .

To get everything to fit excatly is damn on impossible .


The first location Albert town is around 1c warmer in the day than Otematata - if it's like Alexandra it gets a bit more sunshine maybe than Otematata

looks a lovely part of the world - what do they do round there ? looks fairly hilly /mountainous

Otematata is actually the sunniest at around 2300/2400 hours and has around 75 days>1mm

Albert Town and Otematata are sheep/cattle farming areas and also produce wine.

The first photo is near Albert Town in December, and the second one is near Otematata in June.

Climate in NZ varies so much over such a short distance

I think you'll have to disregard sunshine to get the best match. Rainfall is a problem as well, as areas near Dunedin see a summer rainfall peak.

Otematata would be in the less sunny part of that region, and areas about 150km south of there get more sunshine.

Reefton on the west coast has winters a little warmer,summers a little cooler, but sunshine is closer at around 2000 hours. Rainfall is way out though, at about 2000mm

if i disregard the sun hours joe i would be closer to the Argentina or USA lol - in fact a dead match for Oak Harbor ,and that has 1,800/ 1,900 hours so not so far out after all sunshine hours is a major part

NZ ,Dundedin etc with their 1700 hours was why i chose NZ

NZ with it's colder nights also makes it a mismatch i know -but that was the one area i was sacrificing

The problem is often the sun hours in the colder half of the year. You could probably find a number of locations that are similar in summer, but in winter it's a fool's errand. NZ has laces where winter is sunnier than summer, absolutely impossible in the UK.

Esquel is one of the few Argentine cities that get snow on a regular basis, which gives it a snowy reputation even though a midwestern or northeastern would laugh at the amount of snow we get. So either May, June, July or August.

yeah ,i#ve just been trawling Chile -but their summers are too chilly or winters too mild - too much rain or too sunny . Argentina generally too sunny or too cold in the Santa Cruz region . There was one abandoned town that i thought had legs - but the data was unreliable .


Oak Harbor the winner i'd say -it's near to the full package

Esquel was miles too cold (and sunny) lol

July. The South is known for being hot and muggy.
