There is not much in it, but would go with Victoria for sunny summers - although I thought they were slightly warmer than this.
The yearly rainfalls are about the same, but Hobart is about the same each month, whereas it is more biased towards winter in Victoria - which is preferable.
Hobarts averages may seem ok, but there is a high variation in this and even in summer maximum temps well below 20C often occur.
Very mild, they do a "flower" count every February
Sunnier summers. Less rainy days (approx 30 less)
Cooler record high temps
Hobart record highs are above 40c
You can grow palm trees in Victoria but they also get
some snow most winters too, very nice
Stunning location, on clear days you can see the majestic
Olympic Mountains across the strait in Washington state
I'm glad wikipedia uses data from Gonzales Heights weather station
instead of Victoria airport, as Victoria airport is miles away in Sidney,BC
a significantly different climate than Victoria proper
I'm surprised that Victoria is winning this poll..it must be because of the colder winters that many people prefer.
I wonder. Also, familiarity, perhaps? Victoria is a warm spot in a cold country, Hobart is a cold spot in a warm country... It might make Vic sound warmer than it is.
