Paris better than Nice? I know you hate Nice winters but I thought the summers would sway it for you! For me: London D+ Norwich D Bourg Saint Maurice (French Alps) D Nice A-/B+ (Lived in the latter two for <6 months You've lived in Nice?! I didn't remember that. Summers feature ideal temperatures, but the dryness spoils them big time. Still, I'd rather spend a summer in Nice than in Paris. I'm afraid I'm too fond of the transition to subpolar oceanic evergrey in late autumn and the bareness of winter with the occasional snow to rate Paris below Nice. That, and the fact that temps in Nice are ridiculously stable. Yeah I forgot the name of the road now as it was some years ago for a few months, it was by the sea front up a road perpendicul to the promenade des Anglais, I think near Neptune plage or one of the other signs that you see on the front. Nice is incredibly stable but May-October is to die for compared to what I’m used to for sure |

Yeah, I miss the sticky summer evenings.  The autumn storm season was kinda exciting too. |

My climate is in general C for me. In Northern Estonia, where I have been living in childhood for some years, the climate is D+. The difference is noticeable especially in the spring.

NYC is probably the best climate I've ever lived in, and it's only a C. Valparaiso and Lima were a bit worse. Bunghole was a D-, Moscow was E. So sadly not the best ratings

I would say B+ for my village (around here) and B- for Turin. I've never actually lived in Turin, but I've been commuting to there everyday for six year now so I've experienced that climate quite a lot too. The area around Susa looks very scenic-and far from Turin. That's a long commute!
I've lived in Wisconsin except for a period in Minneapolis. All B+ or A- climates.

No memory of Lake Charles, but it would have been a D-.
Topeka: C
Platte Purchase: C(and like half a plus? it's a tiny bit better than Topeka)
Olive Branch/Southaven: D+
Northeast Ohio: B+

Valparaiso is a horrifically insipid pile cool maritime stormless wank en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valpara%C3%ADso#ClimateMelbourne: D- Renmark: B- Renmark's major faults are the lack of storms and the substandard summer lows. Melbourne is cloudy, summers are bipolar - strongly biased towards cool, and there's a lack of storms. |

So sadly not the best ratings What didn't you like about Valparaiso or Lima? Those would be B- climates to me Valparaiso is great in the winter, but its summers are very weak and crummery. Still feels kinda chilly even in the summer due to the cold winds from the Pacific. If it's any consolation, the eastern suburbs get much warmer weather Lima is incredibly humid, and is covered by the Iron Curtain from May up until November. Temperatures in the winter are too boring, it's pretty much 18C every day with clouds. Much nicer in the summer though |

Valparaiso has similar sea temperatures to here year round, but here doesn't feel chilly in summer because of the sea breeze - perhaps there is more upwelling off the coast in Valparaiso? Despite the winter sea temperatures being the same, Valparaiso has minimum temperatures 8C warmer than here, which I'm guessing is due to high levels of cloud cover -could that cloud be due to the so called "maritime layer"? The much stronger sun also plays a large role... |

The much stronger sun also plays a large role... I don't think it does -diurnal ranges are larger here year round, which indicates that the sun plays a stronger role here. Valapario's stronger sun doesn't seem yo burn off the morning cloud during winter, while winter morning cloud typically burns off here -that could indicate that a maratime layer is in effect in Valparaiso, while it isn't here. You having higher diurnals is all due to way less humidity, as well as more clear skies. During overcast conditions, the high doesn't get as high, but the lows don't get nearly as low either. A weaker sun would get even lower highs. |

A weaker sun would get even lower highs. My climate is much more humid than Valparaiso, with higher rainfall and dewpoints. Why doesn't winter morning cloud burn off in Valparaiso, while it does here? - stronger sun should see a faster cloud burn off. I think that a marine layer might be what causes this in Valparaiso -an inversion over coastal regions, that doesn't happen where I am. For the record, for some stupid reason I thought we were talking about Lima. However, all my arguments still stand for Valparaiso. Annual DP using RH and annual mean is 9.8'C vs 9.5'C for Valparaiso. In July, it's 8.1'C vs 5.7'C, so a noteworthy difference. Valparaiso's 61-90 period is also lost likely cooler and less humid than 81-10. More cloud cover, stronger sun, and more humidity are all going to increase lows. |

More cloud cover, stronger sun, and more humidity are all going to increase lows.Not seeing the logic here - a stronger sun means the cloud should burn off faster. Higher winter dewpoints in Valparaiso are a consequence of the sun having less impact, not more, as the daytime cloud cover is due to lack of convection. That lack of convection is a consequence of the marine layer, which is not something my climate experiences. Summer lows are much the same as here, but Valparaiso has more sun, lower dewpoints, and almost no rainfall, and yet has a lower diurnal than here -the sun isn't a factor. Many places have weaker sun than my climate, while having warmer minmums, and many places have stronger sun and cooler lows - the issue is diurnal ranges, not warmer vs colder. According to Weatherspark, the sea is warmer in winter and cooler in summer in Valparaiso. (And according to them, Vina del Mar airport has the same diurnal range as Nelson airport for 81-16.) It's like you're denying Valparaiso has a stronger sun. You're saying "why don't the clouds burn off if the sun is stronger???" Well I don't know but that's how it is. You seem to be insinuating, since strong sun burns off clouds, and Valparaiso is cloudy, that means Valparaiso DOESN'T have a strong sun. Besides, many places at the equator are cloudy. |

You seem to be insinuating, since strong sun burns off clouds, and Valparaiso is cloudy, that means Valparaiso DOESN'T have a strong sun. Besides, many places at the equator are cloudy. Stronger sun isn't a factor as to why nights are so much warmer - let's consider the "marine layer" I'm not familiar with marine layers myself, but my understanding is that they inhibit convective activity, due to an inversion layer. Disregard Weatherspark's Nelson Data - it's seriously screwed up. I live in Motueka, which has about a 2C greater diurnal range than Nelson, which in tern, is about 3C more than Vina del Mar. Look, clouds will decrease diurnal range, and net radiation gain will increase mean temperatures. The net radiation gain isn't always stronger during clear skies. It's not until May here that sunny months have warmer means than cloudy ones, and May here has a much stronger daily insolation than winter months in Nelson. Valparaiso's stronger sun is going to yield a higher net radiation gain, even if it's cloudy, than Nelson, because when both are cloudy, Valparaiso will get more insolation, and when Nelson is sunny, they won't get a significant net gain of radiation because the sun is so weak and the nights so long. And if Valparaiso has a lower diurnal range due to more cloud cover, they're gonna have much warmer lows. I don't understand why you yhink it's weird that Valparaiso is warmer in the winter. On top of everything I just said, they're also on the south side of a large tropical continent yielding them warmer airmasses. |
