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.

1) North America
2) Europe
3) Oceania
4) South America
5) Africa
6) Asia

The first four are OK, Africa os bearable and Asia is the only one I find dsigusting (Summers hot and humid por many months).

North America, those temps are too ideal to pass up on and precipitation isn't that atrocious like Asia

Antarctica!

Of the lesser continents, I'll choose Europe as it is the coldest.

In order

Europe - good summer, coolest overall, probably crappy cloudy winters though
Oceania - good summer, decent winter, rainfall more even than I expected
North America - summer too hot, but it has decent temps and rainfall outside of that
South America - good for a tropical climate but I would miss winter
Africa - A bit warmer than South America, still not bad. Too dry in winter.

Asia - Summer looks awful there.

North America is winning but it also has the most posters.
