[FAAN]

Post your opinion according to what you know or want to know.

I love the climate of my city but our winter generally isnt very cold ( of course is a tropical city )

The lowest temperature registered was 3 C. I want -10 C and snow !!

[FAAN]

Tropical - Natal, Brazil / Max: 35 ° C (95 ° F) - Low: 14 ° C (57 ° F)
Subtropical - Curitiba, Brazil / Max: 30 ° C (86 ° F) - Low: -9 ° C (15 ° F)
Tropical Mountain - Campos do Jordao, Brazil / Max: 28 ° C (82 ° F) - Low: -12 ° C (10 ° F)
Temperate Mountain - São Joaquim, Brazil / Max: 26 ° C (78 ° F) - Low: -18 ° C (-1 ° F)
Continental - Nashville, USA / Max: 32 ° C (88 ° F) - Low: -19 ° C (-3 ° F)

I think a city with a perfect Humid Continental climate is good. Four distinct seasons, snowy and cold in winter, mild and blossomy in Spring, hot and sunny in Summer, and beautiful fall colors in Autumn.

Nashville is actually Humid Subtropical and our average low in January is around 33F (1C) and our average high is 52F (11C).

a climate with temperatures never or rarely exceed above 30'celsius and rarely drop below 10'celsius.... many cities in Australia and NZ will qualify...

I posted in accordance with the minimum and maximum absolute historically. Thanks for the correction on the climate classification.

Sydney's climate isn't bad. We have distinct seasons but it never really gets too hot or too cold, and sunshine is pretty constant throughout the year.

+1 Sydney's climate is perfect for people who have respiratory problems like being asthmatic (like me).... definitely one of the healthiest cities...

The best climate of any city in the world is St Petersburg, Russia.

The worst climate of any city in the world is Singapore by far.

Just for me personally however. It's pretty obvious the cities that are best for humans are Paris, London, Dublin etc.

My ideal temperatures:

Spring: 18C
Summer: 35C
Fall: 10C
Winter: -5C

4 distinct seasons is wonderful and you get the added bonus of the winter frost killing off parasites and disease. It's healthier for both crops and people.

I don't think anywhere in Australia has 4 distinct seasons with the possible exception of Tasmania. You have a hot to blisteringly hot summer and then another season that's a little cooler. There's no real autumn and no winter what so ever.

The climate of my city:



For me problably the best in the world! It's never getting boring here, especially spring with all those severe thunderstorms!

Maybe the mediterranean climate is better for humans. You have the four seasons and in most places with this climate the temperature are not that extreme wether is hot or cold.

[Suburbanist]

A continental climate with wide range of temps and more snow than rain.

Salt Lake CIty is a good example.

Desert climates without sand in the air is good as well (Tucson for instance)

MY HOMETOWN! Best weather on Earth that I've ever experience! If you want a colder version of this you can go to San Francisco

I think the most important choice to made for this question is about the winterseason. I think most summers are hot, or people want at least above 20C and i think also above 25C, so that is still warm. Winters however, vary more than summers around the globe. When I see the diagram of Sydney i think: wow its very warm in that winter. I don't know if i would like it to be warm all year round and have no real seasons. I like the snow in winter, and the special feeling it gives when traditional celebrations like Christmas are accompanied by snow and cold. However, with regard to my health and energy level, and love for the sun, I have to say that I do like it when it's warm outside. All the outside activities, the fun you have. I also do not like all day rain like Seattle has (i think). SO, in the end, I suppose a warm climate is nicer, but than i just want to have the option of seasons to run away to :P

It mightn't snow, but you certainly know when you're in winter, when you're in summer, etc. We don't need to wake up to a back yard covered in white stuff to tell us 'hey, it's winter'.

It's more noticeable the further south you go. Melbourne, to me, has a perfect climate.

All has to do with what you're used to, and your body is accustomed to. Asians (particularly S.E Asians) have no problem with our climate, as it's similar to theirs, though perhaps not as humid. I think of 16c days, and to me, that's fairly cold, but you being Canadian would laugh at the thought of 16c being cold.

Mediterranean climates get pretty hot - Oceanic climates like London and Paris are better for humans - never too hot, never too cold, enough rain, but not too much rain, perfect for crops ect.

Mexico City or Bogotá high valley climates for me are perfect, we don't have all the seasons (in Mexico City we have snow in almost all the mountains surrounding the city and more in winter at just 30 km from the city) because our climate is always between 25°C and -5°C. Mexico City is just a little bit hotter the maximum we have had is 32°C and the extreme minimum -10°C and in Bogotá the maximum has been 28°C and the minimum -7°C.
