Bangkok Moscow Taipei London Edinburgh Mecca Amsterdam Why is Moscow the worst climate of Russia? There are much colder, much warmer and also more "uninteresting" /oceanic climates to choose from.
Mecca isn't a capital btw.

London stands out like a sore thumb to me. It's so bloody boring compared to 90% of other English climates (only the southern coastline and the Scillies are worse). An ugly anomaly, really.
Most climates in England get reliable snow and high activity of winter storms, but London gets next to nothing. Likewise Edinburgh for Scotland—sheltered from all the fun weather.

Bangkok Moscow Taipei London Edinburgh Mecca Amsterdam London/SE England is comfortably the best climate in the UK though. The worst 'capital' in the UK has to be Belfast. 350 days a year of pure crap. At least Edinburgh occasionally gets warm days. |

Really? its not like the rest of england gets wayyyy more snow anyway. Theres not too much variation in winter in England really. London/SE - hardly any snow but much better heat extremes in summer. Rest of the country - bit more snow (relatively) but much poorer summers. |

Rest of the country - bit more snow (relatively) but much poorer summers. Actually, it is like the rest of England gets wayyyy more snow and likewise frontal activity than London. London is a leeward anomaly—nothing like the majority of the country (especially north of 54° N). |

Nowhere not in the mountains (nowhere people live) gets alot of snow. Those "mountains" (~ 300 m AMSL grazing hills) are actually inhabited by quite a few towns and localities, and comprise a large part of the English landmass—certainly a larger part than London's heavily sheltered micro-climate. |

I bet less than 1% of the population of the UK lives in a place that gets more than 30” of snow a year. |

Population is not irrelevant unless you think Southern Arizona is also a “very snowy” place. Is there a habitable landmass in the Southern AZ uplands, akin to that in England? I'm talking flat to slightly undulating plains and hills that support farming. Steep, isolated mountain peaks are a very different beast to gentle, hilly plains. |

I'm talking flat to slightly undulating plains and hills that support farming. Steep, isolated mountain peaks are a very different beast to gentle, hilly plains. The farmland of northern england isn’t very snowy though. The only truly snowy places are in the uninhabited mountains. And to answer your question, yes, isolated mountain peaks are the only very snowy areas in southern arizona. |

Some more examples not mentioned yet (imo): Zagreb, Manila, Nicosia, Nur-Sultan don't most filipinos live in a similar climate though? |

Baku has the worst climate of Azerbaijan, much drier and more boring than anywhere else in the country.

Sofia, Bulgaria. Every other climate in the country is sunnier or warmer.

Certainly not worst in the country, but I think Ottawa's climate is worse than many climates close to or south of its latitude. Has some ridiculously long and cold spells in the winter, and the summer heat (which I dislike) is often on par with Toronto thanks to being further from the lake and being in a valley area that absorbs heat.

The worst 'capital' in the UK has to be Belfast. 350 days a year of pure crap. At least Edinburgh occasionally gets warm days. I take London off the list. It's actually not bad for its latitude. Mecca as well, because Riyadh is the capital. I usually confuse the two. I might add Baghdad to the list. What a horrible climate in the summer. |
