Another thing though, averages in London may be warmer, but London will never get the many warm days we get in winter.
It's not very useful to compare the averages alone, because London has oceanic influence while my region is very continental. Nashville has far colder record lows than London, yet as recently as 2014 they reached 26C in February.
I voted for the UK because I had the Deep South in mind. The Upper South (West Virginia) would win though. Beckley, WV has an amazing climate, one of the best on earth.
If you can choose a particular spot, then why not make it somewhere like Asheville vs somewhere like Cornwall. There are spots in the south with less humidity, and spots in the UK with less rain.
But average vs average, give me drizzle over humidity any day.
London will also never get the many freezing cold nights you get either...
I'd have to see the statistics to believe this. What does Raleigh average a year as far as below-freezing nights? 60ish? Certainly not after this past winter. But that's besides the point...
This is a tough one. The worst climates in the US South are worse than the worst inhabited climates in the UK. But the Southern Appalachains have such a nice climate that I'll choose to vote for the US South.
I'd have to see the statistics to believe this. What does Raleigh average a year as far as below-freezing nights? 60ish? Certainly not after this past winter. But that's besides the point...
That's still double the number of freezing nights we get in the outer parts of London.
