Wellington is my choice. Istanbul has some awful highs, specially the records. Also, Wellington's windier and rainier nature is more of my taste.



But that the extremes, isn't it? Wellington's average highs tend to be lower than Istanbul's, being much lower in summer.
Christchurch's summer mean is higher which speaks volumes.

The wind you mean. I'm surprised my cousin is still "alive".

In the city. Outlying suburbs have recorded much lower readings than that.

Wearing a jumper and jacket nearly all year around hardly constitutes "comfortable".

Mild? You mean cold all year around with the very rare "warm" day.

And its summer lows are lower ... the 24-hour means for Ch'ch (city/Gardens) are 0.6C less than for sea level Wellington sites.

The so-called "outlying suburbs" you would be citing have warmer days - though colder overall because of the nights - and they are not Wellington city - Hutt and Wainuiomata do not qualify.

There are plenty of Wellington residents who don't dress the way you imply - the fact that you have enough problems with Sydney's "icy" winter westerlies renders you unfit to comment at all. Many of those same residents would classify your string of posts as childish and obsessional - but I couldn't possibly comment. Stick to your Sydney issues - they seem to give you plenty of grief.


Only sad-sack characters have to cheer themselves up with their own climate's (alleged) shortcomings by attacking something else.
