割りに and にしては

This morning, I went for a run and my first thought was,

"For August, it's quite cool today."

「今日は８月の割りに結構涼しいよ。」

（の）割りに is a very useful grammar pattern. I often find myself using it several times a day. But it seems as if there are several other patterns that perform similar functions, if exactly the same ones.


Some of these are listed below with their accepted nuances：

割りに： Considering, for

にしては: Considering, for (the preceeding phrase being a generally agreed upon standard)　

なのに: For, although (see のに）

としては： For, considering (the preceeding phrase having no presupposition or agreed upon standard)
*Not to be confused with として、meaning "as."

Examples:

１．中古車の割りに、値段が高いよ

２．日本語を良く勉強しているにしては、まだ下手だよ。

３．夏なのに、寒いですね。

４．田舎としては、あまり静かじゃない。
