This thread in a way is a part 2 of //www.city-data.com/forum/weath...black-sea.html thread. In the previous thread I was comparing the coastal regions of both places, but now I will be comparing the inland locations. The Inland Northwest will be defined as Eastern WA, Northern ID, Southeastern BC, Northeastern OR. Southern Russia will be defined as everything North of the Caucasus mountains (so everything between Anapa and Sochi don't count), South of Volgograd, west of Ural River (western Kazakhstan), and East of Ukraine's border.
Both of these regions are for the most part arid with cold cloudy winters and hot sunny summers but are also diverse enough to include a wide range of interesting climates.
My winners are
Krasnodar
Spokane
Rostov-on-Don
Vladikavkaz
Stavropol
Wenatchee
The Dallas
Hanford Site (it's more desert)
Kennewick (Armavir probably too humid)
Score: Inland NW(5) vs S. RUS (4)
winner Inland NW
however of all the cities Krasnodar is the one I like the most. (I wish more US cities would have sunshine data)
Using the -3C isotherm Castlegar is actually a snowy mediterranean climate, a good find I like that climate way better than the vast majority of continental climates!
Meh. What's the seasonal spread like? If the summer months are getting 300+ hours then it could be good.
Yes, cloudy winter, sunny summer.
Just checked, Kelowna averages 298 hrs in July, Penticton 289 hrs in July,
both just north of Osoyoos.
They both average about 1950 hrs for the year,
so I'd say Osoyoos is similar...maybe an even 2000 hrs
( or 2200 hrs using US sunshine hours threshold).
