However, I am of the opinion that when the word * Africa * is said, it must mean warmth in the first place. The tropical climates of the high plateaus are good but why not something hotter but still made milder by the ocean - Banjul, for example? Because few people like the climate of Banjul...? The Gambia, whose capital Banjul is has a fairly large tourism industry for such a (very) poor country. Even from Helsinki and Riga charter flights are organized to Banjul, not to mention bigger European centers such as Berlin, Milan, London etc (or at least before the corona crisis it was so). If the climate of Banjul were poor, there would be no tourism. |

If the climate of Banjul were poor, there would be no tourism. What an insepid brainless argument. Going to the Gambia from Helsinki in February to get a couple weeks' break from freezing weather is fundamentally different to experiencing 30-35'C 365 days a year. Loads of people go and visit the Sahara desert, and Desth Valley but no one thinks the climate there is great. |

And you cannot make any posts without toxicity  In this thread the op did not ask where you want to live! And I have not said that I would like to live in Banjul! Because I don't want to. I just meant tourism, not year-round living. ps Tourists do not visit the Sahara desert en masse. Nor do they visit en masse N'Djamena, Bamako, Dallol and other ridiculously suffocating parts of the African inland. |

While Paarl has a boring climate with stormless summers and no winter, I'll be damned if that ain't one of the prettiest places to live. |

Kigali for me, no real variation other than wet/dry but I don't expect much in the way of seasons anyway given that it's Africa. Btw who can explain what's going on with Nairobi, two wet seasons but the dullest part of the year is also one of the driest (July-August)? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nairobi#Climate |

Or do you think there are many who would like to live permanently in Kinshasa or Bangui. |

Or do you think there are many who would like to live permanently in Kinshasa or Bangui. How can it be so difficult for you to separate climate and location? We're judging the climate, not the actual city, country, or continent. When we're talking about living in a climate, we're imagining for example our home town suddenly receiving such a climate, or maybe we're imagining a fantasy city with that climate. Of course I don't want to fucking live in Kenya, but I'd love for somewhere that I did want to live to have the climate of Kenya. I'm imagining a hypothetical scenario where Sweden had Kenya's climate. |

Ifrane.
There are some okay climates in Algeria and Tunisia too, and even one in Libya (Bayda), but they don't come close to what Morocco can do.

Surrounded by the Namib Desert on three sides and the cold Atlantic waters to the west, Swakopmund enjoys a desert climate (BWk, according to the Köppen climate classification) with mild conditions year round. The average temperature ranges between 15 °C (59 °F) to 25 °C (77 °F). Rainfall is less than 20 mm per year, making gutters and drainpipes on buildings a rarity. The cold Benguela current supplies moisture for the area in the form of fog that can reach as deep as 140 km (87 mi) inland. Fogs that originate offshore from the collision of the cold Benguela Current and warm air from the Hadley Cell create a fog belt that frequently envelops parts of the Namib desert. Coastal regions can experience more than 180 days of thick fog a year.

This is such a hard question for me because I love almost all African climates (except for the ones that are insanely hot, very cloudy or have cold winters). It's a continent that offers something for almost everyone (albeit with an obvious bias towards hot climates). But for me the choice seems to be a trade off between dry, sunny climates like Windhoek and the thunderstorm-prone but gloomy climates of central Africa. I think Madagascar offers a nice middle-ground. My pick would be Maintirano:  |

Wow pretty wet for South Africa. Nice find! I can see how the European settlers preferred these kinds of areas, as it's not significantly different besides the warm winter days. Here's a warmer inland climate closer to Durban but still gets cold in winter: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pietermaritzburg#Climate |

This would be my worldwide favourite climate if I were to abandon snow.

Lesotho is the best place in Africa. Ifrane, Morocco is overrated with mediocre winters and boring stormless summers. Hard to find climate data for places other than Maseru though.
It is hard to find climate data there I agree. It's a shame winters are so dry.
Edit: If you search for the districts instead of the cities, you get a climate box. There are 10 districts in Lesotho. Link to the wiki page. Click on the districts to bring up a wiki box. The data looks unreliable, but they all look the same anyway. This is the only colder one.
