Which city/town has the best climate according to you?

I like Ottawa, Canada: when it's cold, its very cold, which is great for winter sports (and it's close to skiing, has a canal for skating, snowshoeing trails nearby). And when it's hot, it's hot, and again close to lots of outdoor stuff to do.

If you like consistency, or only warmth (winters are very cold), it's no good. But for variety and both extremes, its great. I'd rather have a cold winter where I can have fun outside than a damp, drizzly winter.

I suspect there are many similar inland and relatively northern cities.

San Jose, California. (but maybe not any longer)

You don't get snow and that kind of thing, which is lame, but...it used to be in the 'awesome' range pretty much all year long.

i'm in phoenix now, and we're just out of the brutal summer, and people who live here year-round rave about the weather during these non-summer months like, "ZOMG this place has the best weather in the world during these months!"

i'm like...you ever been to San Jose? 12 months.

i'm always reminded of the sign in redwood city:

Climate Best by Government Test

Kinda boring but I would say mid Atlantic USA. Roughly between Virginia and NYC east of Appalachians.

Why? Variety.

You get four seasons, each season itself has different weather patterns. Enough to range between hot pool weather summer and 1 or 2 significant snowfalls a year. Beaches are not terrible with warm water thanks to Gulf Stream. Waves aren’t puny but not huge. Accessible and not terrifying mountains/hills in Appalachia. Not so far south you’ll die in the summer humidity. Not so far north you deal with like effect snow.

Ithaca, NY.

The climate is "OK" now but will be getting better with climate change. Water will be more lumped in time but we'll still have it.

Oakland, CA - always in a comfortable range. Underrated in most “best weather” rankings.
