(Hopefully this is the right place to post this thread)

Basically post two or more climates from around the world that are very similar climatically (Doenst have to be 100% but a typical year in each would feel very similar). Lets say they have to be at least 3000 miles apart or so to avoid say putting London/Amsterdam, New York/Philly and so on. Ill start with one

Ketchikan Alaska/ Fort William Scotland (No sunshine but I would estimate both get about 1200-1300 a year)

Here vs Vancouver, very similar though drier here a bit compared to Vancouver.

Parts of Tasmania and New Zealand fairly similar with here, though milder in winter there compared to the UK.

Why do they inflate their totals, I’ve heard this a few times about USA?

Something to do with the equipment they use to measure sunshine which differs from most other countries. Its been mentioned a lot on City Data a site I used to lurk on. Like if one compares a Canadian and American weather station literally miles apart the Canada one is typically a fair bit lower sunshine wise. Detroit and Windsor come to mind. Plus sometimes the sunshine looks unrealistic. Like Boston MA has 150 hours in Jan which is freaky high for a humid coastal climate at 42N. Only Eastern China can match that at 42N to my knowledge and they have a big Siberian winter high.
