I think these 2 would be great in a climate battle because they are so similar and at the same latitude in the Southern Hemisphere to boot... Which do you choose?

Comodoro Rivadavia. Central Argentina in general has a fantastic climate, mostly north of Trelew, but Rivadavia is decent too

Alexandra is on the middle of Southern Island,while Comodoro is on the Coast,if you put Balmaceda(45S too) you will see the difference..

But i Choose Alexandre for being Colder.

Wow Rivadavia is quite warm for the latutide! If it was located on the New England-Canada border (also 45N) it would have highs around 13-15c colder in the winter! It's even a bit milder than Portland

Comodora Rivadavia is a Bug,look the temperatures of Puerto Aisen(Chile) at the same Latitude,Sea Level and Close to the Coast:

West Colder than East Coast haha,and I still Remember that in 2010 Puerto Aysen together with some others nearby Chilean were Dumped with heavy snow for days.

Yes, it's kinda weird how cold Chile could be, look at Valparaiso!

Alexandra for me.

CR has the nicer temperatures, But Alexandra isn't too far behind, has 200 extra sunshine hours, and a summer rainfall peak, which seals the deal for me, as dry summers are not cool.

CR looks much better on paper but it seems to be very windy? It's nickname is "the capital of the wind" and there is a large wind farm nearby. With that being the case I'd still pick Alexandra.
