What Country / City Has The Best Weather?

[Rica1122]

I thing New York Hands Down.

However,

I am curious for other views on it.

[Old_Geezer]

It is clearly a question of taste. I suspect NYC is too far north to be a candidate.

[ToraToraTora]

Old York has better weather than New York!

Kirsty McColl wasn't wrong when she sang "the wind goes right through you" - although that only applies in the winter. the summers are the opposite and may have you wilting in the street.

San Francisco is probably the most equable, having a micro climate and a daily mean temperature within 10 degrees all year.

OG.
Odd answer - New York is on the same latitude as Barcelona or Rome.

I agree with TTT, it depends on what weather you like.

Why is this in the News section? Five new questions from the same person within minutes - is this spam or trolling?

I was amazed to learn that NYC is on the same latitude as Madrid!

Madrid is also cold in winter and hot in summer. But latitude isn't the only thing that happens.

If you google 'best climate in the world', the Canary Islands seem to top many lists. However I'd feel that they're possibly far too windy to qualify.

In the USA, Hawaii and California tend to top most lists.

Europeans seem to find the southernmost countries of the continent the best all year round, with Malta being one that I might nominate myself. (Cyprus is also popular with Europeans for its lovely weather almost all year long although, of course, it's in Asia).

For me though, my top choice might be somewhere on the southern side of Australia. I've been to both Perth and Adelaide in the winter months and found those cities to be very pleasant at that time of the year and, unlike Australian cities further north, the heat generally doesn't become unbearable in the summer months.

Any definition of 'the best weather city' though is bound to be coloured by the reason why one might be there. For example, I've visited Madrid in the height of the summer (when most locals get out of the city and head to the coast if they can) and absolutely loved it as a tourist. However if, say, I was a construction worker in Madrid, having to labour all day under the hot sun, I might well see things very differently!

[Old_Geezer]

So it may be Grom. But it isn't the same climate. It seems you need to go further south from NYC to get comfortable.

I was thinking San Diego. Perth's also pleasant but wet in winter.

[Zacs-Master]

So just say San Diego then.

royfromaus,
Happy for the correction. On my 7” copy, it is credited to both Finer and MacGowan. ;-)

Best climate?
Glasgow, or possibly Troon, after all, it’s down the watter

depends whether you like rain, ZM. I don't mind having some in winter as long as it isn't cold as well, but some would prefer Camelot, where it only rains at night, and some Timbuktu where there's very little at all but you're living in a desert. My garden's been sodden all winter, and I hate that, but I could live quite comfortably with Perth weather. The beaches go on up to the outskirts of Delhi too.

[Zacs-Master]

I think you may be in a minority of people who would list rain as a factor in deciding where the best climate in the world was, jno. But each to hear own.
