Where do you hate (can be town, city, country, state etc) because they get the weather that you want, or are supposed to get, while you get ripped off?
For example, you're a snow lover, but somewhere at lower elevation/latitude in your general region gets snow while you get penis mcghee 5C rain. Or you're a heat lover, and a place in NSW at the same latitude and same environment to yours which has the same avg temps steals all your crummer heat and storms while you get southerlies and cold fronts that mysteriously peter out in NSW while the heat regenerates.
-Hay Gays - mysteriously doubles on any heat I get in our New Age Climate because it's in NSW
-Perf Derfs - Stole my Jackoffuary
-NSW - Bloody heat stealing, storm spamming chippy troll factory. Also, there is a magic 10km high invisible storm force field along the NSW border. The cutoff is truly amazing.
-The Cunter Valley - More storms than you can poke a below avg forecast at
-Penroids - Heat and storm factory, again due to its New South Wanker location
-Shitney - nearly 3 decades of Melbourne blood courses through my veins, you do the math
-Eyre Penisula - The epicentre of any storm outbreak in SA
-Pissbinga - a little hole south of here which boasts a 100:1 storm ratio to Renmark for reasons that are not clear even to Stephen Hawking
-Pinnaroo - as above

For 2020 as a whole: Rhinelander, WI. It's about two and a half hours northwest of Green Bay or Appleton. More epic temperatures, and bigger and more-frequent storms all of last summer. Same goes for Wausau, which is a larger town a bit farther south (only about 1 hr 40 min northwest of here).
In general summer days leave me jealous of places like Waupaca or Wautoma, farther inland from the frigid lake so they tend to be the warm spots... it's especially frustrating when I see somewhere up north like Oconto or Peshtigo get warmer than it was down here (and those places are closer to the lake too).
The entire east coast leaves me indignant in the winter considering they get so many times more storm activity than we ever get here, it's not even funny. This winter is a good example; seems like every week there's something else going on along the east coast, either a big rainstorm and/or a big snowstorm, and we're lucky to get 3" of snow or 0.3" of rain out of a single event.
As for temperatures: Miami. SE Spain. Low elevations of Mexico. Anywhere tropical or subtropical really. In our winter/their summer, actually Perth of all places; their January so far has been pretty much perfect in terms of temps, and there it tends to come with low dew points too.

Nowhere? Maybe Boulder since it gets double the snowfall, more storms, and more 100 f days but the climate is so good here I really donโt care.
Back in Shitchester, Iโd always be fuming when it was much more above average in Albany and places like Burlington that are farther north but get way better heatwaves.
Storms there also died in the ass at the thruway (I-90 for non-New Yorkers). Thereโd always be severe storms and even tornadoes south of it while weโd get light rain and a couple rumbles of thunder.

I'm only jealous of South-Western and South-Central Victoria, in winter, due to the frequently epic cold fronts and snowfalls they get. Otherwise, I'm in one of the better spots climatically in AU. Particularly in the summer sweet spot, i.e. 34.5ยฐโ36ยฐ S: south enough to get consistently dry summers and thus lower soil moisture, leading to hotter temps (especially those legendary hot minima which characterise the Riverina summer); and north enough to avoid regular summer cold fronts, but still get them occasionally for variety.

East Melbourne: gets shitloads of winter rain, hail, frosts far more frequently than here North of the GDR: Often clear, sunny and warm whilst it's cloudy here Perth: Should be obvious

The western side of Wisconsin has more summer heat, colder winters, less seasonal lag, and better storms. Storms can die out when they get close to Lake Michigan, and it moderates temperatures slightly. The only benefit it seems to give for temps is warmer nights, but I would take warmer days and colder nights instead of the opposite. Also, the southeast gets the most winter rain. Occasionally there will be some lake-effect snow here but it does not happen often. The further north and west you are, the more likely to see winter precip fall as snow. Edit: Also, Perth, because everyone including me is jealous of their weather.

Idyllwild: Frequent summer storms and winter snow. Palm Springs: Wetter and milder, winter highs can actually get cool. Blythe: Worse than here in all aspects besides it getting a wetter monsoon. Yreka, CA: Actually gets decent summer rain. Rancho Carrillo: Mildest place in the county while still getting decent cool days.

Screwyville, Blowing Green, Wankfort...basically everywhere just a bit to the west that gets far better lightning and often hotter/more humid in the summer as well.

For Canada I get mad at Vancouver and other areas on BC's west coast throughout the winter. As they get rain and warmer temperatures Moncton gets white puke/snow and cold. temperatures.
For Atlantic Canada, whenever Halifax or Saint John get rain while Moncton gets snow or in the case of outside of winter nothing.
For outside of Canada maybe I should include Milford Sound. it's on my avatar and I love heavy rain.

Malibu, California because they got more snow than Vancouver this winter (so far).
Good chance it remains that way for the remainder of winter.

London because they are at a higher latitude than Vancouver and not even on the coast, yet have milder winters and can grow more Subtropical vegetation than we can.

Paris for being 15c warmer on some summer days, and consistently recording 300-400 hours more sunshine than average while we are 200 hours below.
Warsaw for always being sunnier than London these days when it averages fewer sun hours.

The southern Yvelines department SW of Paris. It simply gets more weather: more snow, more storms, more cold, more everything... When I first started to follow weather back in 2008 I thought it was a random glitch. Now, 13 years layer, I'm convinced it's true: they do get more snow, thus more cold, at least. It's undeniable. The only thing they're shit at is epic heat. But anyway, while 38.3ยฐC is cooler than 39.7ยฐC, it's still pretty hot.
Dijon for being colder in winter, especially under high pressure with their legendary inversions. Why Dijon and not Strasbourg or something? Because it's pretty close and doesn't scream "NE France" like places in Alsace or Lorraine. It's quite a bit further south than here actually.
Europe from Warsaw eastwards, for getting epic cold while we're basking in putrid Atlantic air. Sadly, that's less true nowadays.
The Canadian Prairies. What's the point in being that cold in winter? I mean, we could all share the abundant 50N cold in equal parts. But no, the Prairies have decided to be absurdly cold at our expense. To balance it all, western Europe is obliged to feature equally abnormally mild winters. This leads to a lose-lose situation, where the blighters in SK and MB are freezing their butts off while here getting a snowflake to stick on the ground is a fucking achievement.
Iowa. But I'm not really angry at them. I'm sure these fine people deserve their godsend of a climate. <3 Iowa

I feel like Oklahoma is so continental and flat that going a small distance in one direction doesn't drastically change the type of temperatures one experiences. The western part of the state gets more snow, but the downside is it's also drier there and hotter in the summer. And the snow drought that ended in December 2020 while I was in North Carolina also affected Kansas and Missouri. I guess I'm jealous of the Panhandle when they get snow, but it's too dry, variable, and windy for me to want to actually live there.
When I lived in North Carolina, I was jealous of the DC area for getting a lot more snow. They would get two feet of snow and I would get two inches of sleet or just cold rain.

Within North Carolina, nowhere really, other than that I sometimes get jealous about the central part of the state sometimes getting 100ยฐF highs more often during heat waves โ though the difference is small, so I don't really care that much.

Redding.
Somehow that place manages to steal all the interesting weather on the West Coast and leave us with nothing.
