Where would you place your city in your country?

You sure that wouldn't be a more maritime climate than it is now, but I think the worst thing is the winter sun angle, otherwise gets an A from me 

That's a really easy one, I would put Saskatoon right where Windsor is, in the far southwest corner of Ontario. One of my favorite climates ever over there 

As I said, Isle of Wight is sunnier by 300 hours and this will be a decent trade-off. Not to mention, UHI will make London (at Isle's place) warmer by a 1C or 2C, since I believe London's warmish summers are exacerbated by the area's UHI. But I'm not 100% sure about that.

New capitals in Europe, based purely off climate



Awkward geopolitical situation as Georgia and Russia have their capitals just across the border from each other. Ukraine breathes a sign of relief as its capital gets moved hundreds of miles away from Russia, just across the border from Romania.

France is now dominated by the small island of Corsica, which suddenly became very important. Italy is now going to be run from the island of Sicily as well.

Switzerland's new capital is now surrounded on three sides by Italian territory, and is much closer to Milan than to most of its own country. Adriatic sea suddenly becomes very important as Slovenia, Bosnia, Croatia, and Greece relocate their capital cities there.

Would UHI make it warmer if London were in IOW? I would think it would.

Hi peeps! (long time no see! long time no connection from me on here     ) ...but I'm slightly back!  

Here is where I would ideally relocate the area where I live (cities of Thionville and Metz, in the very N.-E. of France): around the Arcachon Basin / Cape Ferret / town of Lège-Cap-Ferret, on the central / northern part of the S.-W. shoreline of France)...

 => Thionville's / Metz's current climate is a mix of:
 - the semi-oceanic one (climat océanique dégradé, in French)
 - and the semi-continental one (climat continental dégradé, in French)
 - all this, under quite low sunshine amounts throughout the year (about 1,600 hours per year on average / LTA!)
 - winters that are cold, but, however, very rarely extreme, and indeed less and less extreme over the years (roughly between -1°C and +6°C in December, January and February / LTA!)
 - summers that are warm, but, however, occasionally hot, and with an increasing of the frequency of hot ones, as years go by (roughly between +14°C and +26°C in July / LTA!)
 - overall, still, is it a bland, gray and not *that* pleasant climate... Even if I cannot complain too much, either!

 => The climate of the area where Thionville and Metz would be newly establishing their city territory is a mix of:
 - the classic oceanic one (climat océanique standard, in French)
 - and the mild-summer Mediterranean one (climat méditerranéen doux, in French)
 - all this, under pretty high amounts of sunshine during a year of data (about 2,900 hours per year on average / LTA!)
 - winters that are cool, and, occasionally very cool, but also occasionally mild-ish (roughly between +6°C and +11°C in January / LTA!)
 - summers that are long-lasting and, overall, just only warm-ish, but with the mandatory / systematic 1, 2, 3 or sometimes 4 period(s) during it with very hot weather* (roughly between +18°C and +26°C in July and August / LTA!)
 - *: meaning that, on those few limited periods, that however happen necessarily every summer, temperatures hit values from +35°C to +40°C
 - overall, it's a pretty nice and pretty pleasant climate almost year-round, not the hottest, neither the sunniest, nor the driest one in France, but it is one of my very favorites if I had to 'cut and paste' Thionville / Metz over there to live in!

Anyways, I do badly imagine the small-scale French McMansions and McModerns of North-East France in that southern region! They would not match so well actually!

I think I would still prefer the beautiful villas already in place over there!

 => Here are some pictures of:
 - the Moselle department (N.-E.) landscapes
 - the cities of Thionville and Metz cityscapes and landmarks
 - the Thionville's and Metz's small McMansions and small McModerns
 - the Gironde department (S.-W.) landscapes
 - the town of Lège-Cap-Ferret townscapes and beaches
 - the luxury villas of the Cape Ferret
