A while ago I created an averaged climate of the world's 100 largest cities. I've extended it by averaging out the 20 largest cities on each continent. Which is your favourite one?
Asia
The average is a humid subtropical climate with hot, wet summers and mild, dry winters. Out of all the continents, it has the hottest summers.
Africa
It has a tropical savanna climate with warm to hot temperatures throughout the year. It is interesting to see the effect of West Africa's rainy season on the July and August max temps, as they are slightly cooler than the surrounding months.
Europe
It is a temperate oceanic climate with cool winters and warm summers. Precipitation is mostly evenly distributed with an autumn/early winter peak, which is unsurprisingly the case with many European cities.
North America
A humid subtropical climate, but cooler than that of Asia.
South America
A tropical climate, but isn't that hot overall due to the moderating influence of some highland cities.
Oceania
Another subtropical climate, but more moderated than Asia or North America.
