Which of these two climates would you prefer?

Ultra wet Tofino

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tofino#Climate

or Ultra dry Turpan

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turpan#Climate


This is one of the few occasions where I will choose the colder winter climate over the milder one. This is due to Turpan being very dry and getting miminal snowfall plus being very very sunny overall.

Which do you choose?

Tofino because of it's natural landscape but I wouldn't live on any of them even for a high wage.

Btw both are some of the worst climates I've ever seen specially Turpan is extremely miserable with very cold winters and extremely hot summers

Turpan by light years. Tofino is an abominable, wretched hellhole that is one of the the s***iest climate in the Americas and is very near climatic rock bottom IMO. Those dreadful winters are already giving me nightmares with the neat constant cold rain and then the only consolation is cool, cloudy and still wet summers that still get a bunch of days of cold rain. It's like getting robbed of all your stuff and getting compensated with a s*** broken down car and an incredibly slow computer that hardly works.

Later on I might do an average of the two climates and post it here. I like doing that with polar opposite climates because it always ends up being something half decent.

Tofino rains too much and Turpan actually have quite a few nice days in the 20-30C range with low humidity in a year. Therefore has to go with it even though summers are absolutely horrible.

Tofino

Turpan is just too extreme, like Phoenix and Regina in one climate.

I chose Turpan despite the colder winters and virtual lack of precipitation, because at least Mar-Oct looks decent, I can't say the same for Tofino, which is a cool, maritime, cloudy, foggy, oceanic, sopping hellhole year-round.
