It's not much of a difference, Atlanta's avg July dewpoint is still like 69-70° which is still super muggy imo

Atlanta's average July dewpoint is 68.4, Savannah is 71.9.





The difference also manifests in extremes. This past July, Atlanta saw a 52º dewpoint, while Savannah didn't fall below 64º.

March and April are extremely important to how long a winter feels, and if you grow up on the east coast, by the Great Lakes, you certainly know that winter can drag on forever
True but ....I still prefer New England and Great Lakes climates over any climate in China.

You are just looking at one month...march, and I agree...if there was month I could tweak it would be
march, the rest of the year is fine. imo we have very good falls, and our summers are far superior to China.
China summers are a mess, way too much monsoon rain.

China....too dry winter....too rainy summer.....NA much more even = better.

Erie, PA.

Adjacent Lake Erie is cold until June, no sunshine from October through April, and lake effect snow all winter. Winter is from November through early May. No spring at all, just winter, summer, and fall. Even fall can be crappy due to lake-effect clouds and rain after cold fronts when the weather would otherwise be crisp, dry, and sunny. Summers are humid but don't get warm enough to avoid feeling clammy.

I used to live there. It's definitely a "climate ripoff" for a place at the same latitude as Rome, Italy.

Yup, it's frustrating to live on the same latitude as Barcelona or Napoli but to have a climate that is a million times worse

The Mediterranean is a climate rip-off. I live at 43°N and yet this year saw the first frost since 2012.

Bologna is a rip off because places south of us in the USA see a bunch of snow every winter while we haven't had any since february 2015 despite having a 3c average in January.

At least the rest of the year is not a rip off.
