They should look into becoming sister cities with Inukjuak and Chongqing too

Inukjuak really is a chapter of its own. It almost deserves its own climate talk

Considering the latitude Vladivostok is insane too. Bastia at the same latitude is 21 degrees Celsius warmer in January. TWENTY ONE DEGREES!!! That's just insane for a coastal location at such a low latitude to be that cold. Vladivostok is even a solid 8-10 degrees colder than places in the Northeast US at a similar latitude. Of course I bet a similar comparison can be made for Inukjuak with some places in Sweden or the British Isles

I think NYC sunshine hours are fine, nothing wrong with that. Only thing I hate is that the sunshine hours are very streaky, like you can have a month of pure sunshine and then three weeks of gloom (like this past May). I wish it was more like Valparaiso where it changes every single day, and even sometimes half a day can be cloudy (usually the morning) and the rest is sunny

Brownsville, Texas gets less than 30 inches of rainfall annually, despite being RIGHT ON the Gulf Coast. What's up with that?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Browns..._Texas#Climate

Same with Progreso, in the Yucatan Peninsula, compared with nearby Merida:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progre...C3%A1n#Climate
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%A...C3%A1n#Climate

The joke gets worse further inland in Texas, when you are in areas like Austin, San Antonio, Dallas, Waco, etc. Brownsville, at least, has very mild winters to make it up, as well as summers with Gulf breeze; it just needs more rain, and the climate would be perfect. Those other cities, on the other hand, are far hotter in temperature, and are drier (with less frequent rainfall in July/August than Phoenix, of all places), while still being humid. Then come winter, they turn around, and get very cold/temp swings (worse in North Texas).

What the hell kind of Cfa climate averages less than 2 inches of rain in August?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dallas#Climate

The sensible climates in the state are far Western Texas (Lubbock, El Paso, Amarillo, etc), and the coastal area east of LONG 96 (Houston metro, Golden Triangle, etc). The western Texas areas are low in rainfall, but have the dry air that goes along with it, while Houston/Golden Triangle has the plentiful rainfall year-round that goes with the humidity.

It has an absolute ass of a climate. Cold "summers" and dank gloomy wet winters that drag on forever. No summer to look forward to. Look at their forecast Portland Forecast

ASS of a climate. And Newport is at 44* so not really a valid comparison.

It is the coolest summer climate on the mainland.

There are places within the arctic circle that have better summers. The summers of this HORSES ASS climate are no warmer than Northwestern Europe and Vancouver and unlike these places, it has the benefit of a massive, hot desert relatively nearby, yet this is all it can manage. HERP DE DERP

Thats not exactly las vegas or reno rainfall averages, its more rainfall than most people see all year


Florida always some of the highest rainfall averages for its cities. You live in the exact opposite of what schleprock lived under, he lived under a perpetual rain cloud, you are living under perpetual sunshine where all around you is rain. Most of florida gets a ton of rain
Never enough rain for me and i hate the sun. I must have a force field around my area as so many times i watch blow ups just miss me by about a 1000 yards all around me day after day in the summer.

I am no where near Tarpon. 12 miles north of Tarpon springs is not in Tarpon springs. I guess rainfall amounts don't vary at all during the summer from city to city you are saying. Shows how much you know.

Had winters back in the 80's, Coldest since i started keeping records was 19 on Xmas day of 1983 when i was living in Tampa. Have had no cold weather since 2010, what i mean by cold is sub 34 for my area. Since 1990 the winters have been warm minus 95-96 and 2010. Nothing like the super freezes we had in the 80's.

Inukjuak February mean -25.8
Stornoway February mean 3.4

That difference...

Inukjuak July mean 9.4
Yakutsk July mean 19.5 (62 N)
