Both cities are very close in annual average temperatures. Dublin has an oceanic climate with mild winters and cool summers. Very cloudy but relatively dry.
Boston has a continental climate with cold, snowy winters and warm summers. Decent amount of sunshine.
Dublin doesn't have summer even by London standards (though it's not as bad as I thought, and possibly slightly better than 60 miles across the water in Wales where I used to live), so Boston wins.
Boston's climate is far superior imo. Much warmer summers and snowier moderately cold winters. Gets a nice amount of precipitation without compromising on sunshine-close to my ideal climate. Dublin is far too cloudy and cool year-round, annual average temperatures are similar but I imagine Dublin feels considerably cooler.
The first time I visited Boston was on St. Patrick's Day; not a good way to get a feel for the city. Or maybe the best time to get a feel for the city...
Dublin's a bit too bland and Boston has much nicer summers, so Boston wins.
I don't like either one of them. They're too warm all around, except for Dublin in summer afternoons. Dublin's sunshine figures are nice, as opposed to sunny Boston. I still choose Boston, despite the hot summers, because it has some wintry weather, unlike Dublin.
Boston by a mile. Dublin's sunshine levels are in my 2nd to bottom category.
