We had the combined 100 cities climate, this is a different take, putting the 30 richest and poorest city climates together. As for the poorest cities, quite a nice sunny climate eh? All smiles and sunshine. Or rather, wondering when the fuck your next meal is coming. Unsurprisingly, most of these are in Africa. The climate falls just 0.3°C in January of being a Tropical Savanna climate, and so just about falls in the Humid Subtropical category. Let's say it's a borderline Tropical/subtropical savanna type climate. Perhaps it's not surprising that many of these climates are of the tropical savanna type, featuring harsh drought and heat for half the year, and often flooding rainfall in the other half of the year. Others are generally arid much of the year. Heat and sunshine is predominate in these climates. The richest climate is a much more moderate form of subtropical climate, with more evenly distributed precipitation and substantially cooler winters. It is somewhat less sunny.   |

Richest Cities for the relatively drier summers, relatively wetter winters, and nearly ideal temperatures. Proves that a mild temperate/subtropical climate is best for civilization.

I vote for the richest city while I’m waiting for the battle of continents!
In fact 'richest city' is a great climate, B+ or A+, summers are slightly too hot.

Richest cities for cool winters

The poor are definitely richer in this regard.

Poorest
A subtropical (almost tropical) paradise! I'd definitely save money on heating in the winter for what it's worth, leaving me with more disposable income if all else was equal anyway.

Richest cities - it has good temperatures and a better precip pattern

Warmest possible subtropical climate winters vs coldest possible subtropical climate winters (not using my personal definition). Both are hotter and likely more humid in the summer than ideal, so "needing" AC wouldn't be great- but that's true for the lion's share of the world's climates anyway. Narrowly prefer the cooler one over the hotter one despite needing central heating there.

The climate I live in is roughly as cold in winter as the richest average one, and I never used central heating, just like almost everyone else in the town. |

When the Apocalypse happens and there's no 'lectricity.... well those big cold arse cities in the higher latitudes are gunna be pretty shithouse to eke out a living.... the warmer one can grow sustainable subsistance food all year around.... just sayin'....

And yet many of those cold cities were doing very well centuries before electricity, and the hot ones are still dirt poor today. |

Poorest cities/towns usually have the best climates (besides those in Australia)

Not well methinks, and the poorer 3rd world places will just revert back to peasantry and life will carry on... |

Where I live the "central heating" season is typically November to March, which also happen to be the 5 months with daily average temps below 10 C. Plus the more common and severe cold snaps are in the "richest cities" climate, the more you'll want central heating in the winter. (Not a life-or-death necessity of course, but I don't think most people in the West would want to wear parkas and winter fleece indoors like they do in rice-growing areas of China- which don't have widespread central heating.) |

I'd definitely want to have central heating if I lived somewhere with a 6 C mean in the coldest month. Heck, even 12 C. I don't want to be shivering in my own 9 C living room on a cold winter day. |

Not well methinks, and the poorer 3rd world places will just revert back to peasantry and life will carry on... Maybe. I mean, it's all hypothetical. An apocalypse (of which many should have occured in the last 25 years according to so called psychics) is the least of my worries. I have important concerns such as deciding whether to use the gold plated or the solid silver cutlery for my smoked salmon dinner. |

The poorest cities have a better climate.

The average temperature in July here is 8C, the only buildings with central heating are the hotels so the unadapted tourists don’t freeze to death. No one wears a parka here except tourists. |

Richest cities for more variety in temperature and more equitable rainfall, though poorest cities ain't bad (not excessively hot in any month)

No surprise the poor climate is a sweltering inferno. Hard to advance societally if you're sitting around melting from the heat all day or infected with some exotic tropical disease.
