What city would you prefer to love in climate wise the capital city of Norway located almost 60 degrees with a fairly mild climate for its latitude or Halifax, Nova Scotia would a pretty similar climate.
Oh, I didn't Oslo was so mild so thanks. I think I'd love to go there. I won't vote because I've never been there. I do love Halifax, though. It's very pretty. https://www.novascotiawebcams.com/en
Yes, Oslo is quite mild. The temperature rarely dips below -10°C in January. It is not a windy city, like Halifax or Bergen.
Yeah, Oslo very rarely has any wind to speak of.
However, Bergen city center is not particularly windy. It is shielded by those 7 mountains.
Using November, which seems to have been a little more windy than an average month:
Mean wind speed in Nov 2017 was 3.6 m/s = 13 km/h at Bergen (Florida).
It was 9.4 km/h in Oslo (Blindern).
It was 9.7 km/h in Trondheim (Voll 127 m asl, avoiding airports here).
Airports are more windy. Bergen airport had mean wind speed 16.9 km/h in Nov.
Ligthouses even more. Færder lighthouse in outer Oslofjord had mean wind speed 34.9 km/h in Nov.
Oklahoma seems to be the most windy city in US with 19.6 km/h avg annual wind speed, while New York is listed with 14.6 km/h. Again, don't know what stations is used. https://www.currentresults.com/Weath...ity-annual.php
Well, Halifax has almost double the precipitation.
Temperatures are very similar.
Oslo sunshine are old stats.
Who cares about the rain amounts - the rain is simply lighter in Oslo. I can't imagine Oslo being sunnier even if the sun stats are old. The latitude of Halifax is far more desirable. Winter sun angle is 23° vs 6°.
Halifax, easily. Much snowier, and far more appropriate for its subpolar latitude. Oslo – on the other hand – is much too warm for 60° N.
