How is this different from a “best climate in your country” thread?
Everyone would just be like I’d put my city where the best climate in my country is

Everyone would just be like I’d put my city where the best climate in my country is Well, I think that "best" might sound as a matter of objectivity / a taste of objective sense of things?; I mean, the hottest, the sunniest, the driest or whatever, are objective elements / actual data... If you take my own example, which is eloquent enough I believe, you'll notice a very subjective / sensitive choice from me, maybe even a passionate one, as the area I have chosen for Thionville / Metz 'to be cut and pasted' is specific enough and doesn't meet any extreme or absolute values... Just one of the "best" for me, and for me only... Maybe it is this, that would make the difference you were talking about from the other thread? |

People have such varying tastes, it would be impossible to have an objective poll so I don’t think that’s the difference. |

I'd place NYC in Paradise, California, which is located in the Sierra foothills. |

Paris would be located where Mothern is (Alsace). An alternative would be centered on the current location of Mouthe (Jura), but the urban environment would ruin the natural microclimates there.

The thread is more specific than "best climate in my country". Besides, the best climate in the country may not "exist" because of the lack of a weather station in that place. This thread includes cutting and carving your own country to abide by your climate standards (what I did in my post). |

The title is confusing, “where would you place your city” makes it sound like you’re moving your city within your country, in which case everyone would put it where their favorite climate in their country is. |

This thread is like the linked thread, but the difference is that in this thread you can also move your city anywhere in the country. In that thread, you are supposed to keep your city in the same place. |

Screw the East Australian Current as well. That bitch is another culprit that makes the eastern seaboard cloudy, wet and muggy. Instead, let's make it originate from the colder southern ocean/southern Tasman. That way, we don't get too much moisture and rain. Yes, a downside to eradicating the EAC is colder waters, so beaches weren't be visited much (and I certainly can't stand cool waters). But hey, it's worth sacrificing!

I would assume that we would get clearer skies and have a climate similar to those of the Canary Islands, SoCal and coastal Chile (as they have cooler water currents). |

I'm not super knowledgeable about climate, but Sydney might end up having a similar climate to San Francisco, or to use a Southern Hemisphere example, Valparaíso (which is cloudier than Sydney so that would defeat the purpose). |

As far as I'm concerned, California is perfect. I wouldn't move any city.

There aren't a ton of places that are on a temperate/subtropical east coast and have a cold current influence. The US east coast, AU, Argentina, etc, all have warm currents, so it's difficult to predict what Sydney's climate would be in this situation, but I can imagine it'd be drier (especially in summer) and definitely foggier. |

Good call with Valparaíso. But considering that we're on the east coast and we have a huge hot desert to our west (which brings us extreme heat), things might be a bit different. I think we'll still have those hot dry days but our summer nights will be cooler. Winters will be even more drier thanks to the lack of east coast lows and the still-remaining foehn winds (which arrive with the westerlies). Here's how I think the climate of Sydney might look like if we had a cold ocean current:  Rain will peak in the summer due to a few some convective storms that may affect the city. Nights are cooler because of lack of moisture. Record highs and lows will probably remain the same. |

Agree with the northern half (especially Moscow and Berlin's placements). But Athens is already too hot in its current position. Now it's even more hotter. Lol. Oh and Paris should be at Barcelona's place. But he has placed each capital in the same country. So it wouldnt make sense to put Paris where Barcelona is. Derp...I made a booboo. I meant Marseille. |
