London because I couldn't stand the cool summers in Victoria, even it is sunnier..
Those sunshine hours for Victoria seem high to me. Are they based on the same method as the UK I wonder. Seems only a little less cloudy than here, when in reality everything I've heard is that Vancouver is quite cloudy.
Because we are comparing Victoria, not Vancouver. When I looked at the stats for Victoria this morning, they didn't even reach 20c in July. This is the same station for which Botev posted the sunshine hours.
It seems to be a favourite tactic of people on here, that if their climate is losing, just state you can go a short distance to and get better weather. The thread is London vs Victoria, not London vs a short distance from Victoria! There is a separate London vs Vancouver thread which was bumped earlier. It happens with climate battles involving coastal CA as well.
I chose London over Vancouver, and now I realize I was using the wrong place. Ooops my bad.
Well I choose London even more so now. Victoria is def cooler.
I'd choose London over both Victoria and London. As I pointed out earlier, London is warmer in every season, and I just don't believe those high sunshine hours for a notoriously cloudy place like Victoria.

Victoria is notoriously cloudy? The region has a reputation for sunshine. And to the north, the region has the name "Sunshine Coast".

It does seem a bit high but I'm not sure.. it is almost certainly quite a bit sunnier than here though. Unfortunately the sunshine hours are about the only redeeming factor for Victoria's climate.
I am also guessing that like Vancouver, heat waves don't occur as often as they do here
Because the downtown is right on the water. The airport is more inland. It makes sense. Compare that to say Portsmouth the average max is 19.4C in June, 21.8C in both July and August. Though Portsmouth is over 100km away from Heathrow
Note the downtown site is 100 hours sunnier than the airport. If you wanted to be in the warmer part of the urban area, you pay in sunshine and in rain. The airport is 50% wetter than downtown! Victoria get some drought tolerant plants / dry summer plants that rare that far north in the Pacific Northwest west of the Cascades.
Annual mean is warmer in London. Summer nights are colder in Vancouver and summer days cooler.
I'm surprised Vancouver has that many sunshine hours. Doesn't seem that much less than around here.
I'm going with London for warmer summers and milder winters.
This is Victoria, not Vancouver. Vancouver is not that sunny and it rains more.
