London drier than Paris?? Not saying it’s wrong, but certainly breaks stereotypes.

Be interesting to see ‘days with rain’ instead of cm/inches of rain. Might give different results.

Another example of why averages are often not a good indicator. Take Lima and Athens. While Lima actually has a very average-like, stable climate, Athens can be smoldering hot in summer and freezing cold in winter. In other words, you would be OK all year round in Lima, but you might want to avoid Athens in summer/winter. (Obviously I’m leaving out all non-climate factors.)

Chennai is that hot? Damn I thought Chennai was like mid – high heat

Cool idea but demonstrably false on at least one stat I have committed to memory. Atlanta gets 50″ of rain per year compared to Seattle’s 40″.

Seville is a curious omission, the hottest city in Europe. I lived there for a few years. The hottest I saw was 48C and it’s regularly over 40 all summer.

All the cities starting with L and with a B are on the dry side.
All the cities starting with S are near the diagonal Dry-Cold to Wet-Hot.
Coincidence? I think not.

Wondering about the decision to not include Washington DC…. I’m guessing it would be somewhere near the “n” in Auckland.

Alaska not represented. Very wet. Very cold.

Well, the winters are dry and cold, but the summers are faaaaaaar from dry. Not even close.

Average temperature vs average daily high temp? Las Vegas seems to be quite moderate under this measurement.

Wet Cold is something we universally dread.

Does that average temperature include nightly minimums? I would have expected just average daytime temperatures, but that would put my town way off the top left corner of the plot (28cm annual rain, 28/36°C average daytime temp in mid winter/summer)

Atlanta being near center is wild to me…I was looking in the too right box and figured we weren’t important enough to be included.
That feels like the “ideal” range and that just doesn’t sound like Atlanta at all

So Houston Texas has the same rainfall as Rio?
