Tórshavn. If it's good enough for Thor, it's good enough for me.

Yuma is pretty awful. Tórshavn isn't cold and snowy enough for my liking in winter, but I'll take it any day over Yuma. Tórshavn's summers are pretty good as well. Maybe they're a little too cloudy for my liking, but least I wouldn't have to deal with any heat.

Both are bad, but Yuma. If I don't wanna be in the sun or heat, I can go inside. But you can never make up for the lack of sun/warmth in Torshavn.

At no point of the year, Tórshavn ever gets nice, comfortable sunny t-shirt weather (defined as around 25C and it has not even hit that once in recorded history). At least Yuma gets most days throughout the year when it's between 20 and 30 C (optimal human comfort in light clothing) for at least part of the day (in summer, the nights and early mornings are pretty comfy even though the days are too hot for even most heat lovers). Fall and spring make great "summer" weather and winters are perfect for being active outdoors without heavy clothing and offer a choice between crisp mornings and mildly warm afternoons.

Although I'm surprised that winters in Tórshavn are averagely between 1-5C and the record low is -11C. I live just outside Vancouver and winters are colder there than in Tórshavn . I find Yuma way too hot and way too dry. Also It's too sunny. Tórshavn has nice precipitation but it's too gloomy. Temperatures are way too mild. Winters need to be at least -5C and summers should be at least 15C.

Yuma. Torshavn looks like it could snow in winter, and the lack of summer is not good.
