Molesworth still has the higher winter diurnal range than Maquinchao, despite 3-4 times the winter rainfall. Does Maquinchao get winter temperatures way above average, that skew the figures?

-13C in Mt Cook village last night. Another -4C night here.

Sometimes it get,because of the very warm continental land to the north,but not too far from average,sometimes between 10-15C highs,I was looking on the data back to 2013,and august was very crazy,they got 20C and -17C in one same month.

Okay, I think Molesworth can get warmer than that at times, due to a Foehn effect, with temperatures around 15-20C at times.

This are the Town of Sarmiento in Central Patagonia ,look the extremes,it has the lowest temperature in Argentina at low elevation(200m).

That record low must be one of the biggest deviations from average, anywhere.

Sarmiento is surprisingly mild for it's latitude and altitude. Comparable places here, would have minimums colder by 2-3C during winter, and with higher rainfall.

It also has a surprisingly low diurnal range, with my area having a higher annual range range, despite 7.5X the rainfall.

It have similar winter temperatures to places in Central France at same latitude,but colder record lows.

Very cold temperature may happen on Patagonia,but they are a bit rare and with limited record sources since there arent so many people living in Patagonia,I just think to myself if the Andes were lower,something about 1500m max altitude,allowing moisture to spread over Patagonia,forming dense forests,with some great cities there.. unfortunately that only will happens in some millions of years,when the erosion make it job.

For me the best area to live in Australia are the higher elevations of Southeast,in Towns like Orange or Cooma.

Sarmiento isn't a reliable station. So i wouldn't take its data as a reference for any comparison.

Is it thought?

You're comparing a river delta, which translate to super fertile lands, to a lot of areas with low population density. Australia, the Sahara Desert, Greenland, Canada, Iceland, Mongolia, Patagonia, The amazon rainforest, Scandinavia, Saudi Arabia, etc, etc, etc.

Probably the city with the largest population in the blue area is Toronto.
