For me it's got to be Central Europe/the northern Balkans. - Winters that have some guaranteed snow/ice but don't drag on, March definitely springlike
- Summer highs around 25C with May/September still warmish at 20C highs
- Mountains nearby mean lots of interesting microclimates
- Lots of summer thunderstorms
- Just the right amount of variability: a sunny morning will probably mean a sunny afternoon unlike here, but you wouldn't normally get weeks on end of the same weather
My current favourite climate is Graz: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graz

The high plains of North America: •Sunny, dry and highly variable winters with moderate amounts of snow and cold •March is much warmer than February, December is the coldest month of very close to the coldest •Lots of spring thunderstorms and potential late season snows or early season heatwaves •Hot, relatively dry summers with cool nights •Warm, sunny, dry falls that cool down quickly Examples: Scottsbluff Alliance Wheatland Fort Laramie RoundupBillings

Inland southern France, and maybe parts of northern Greece and Italy.

The tropics below 1000 metres. Don't have to worry about snowfall

South Africa, and the highlands of Kenya and Ethiopia. I also really like some climates of Tasmania and New Zealand. Gap, France is pretty cool as well as SoCal and the bay.

What about Santa Rosa and the warmer Bay Area climates then Baba? Considering you like Gap with its high diurnals and so forth!

If you'll remember, I did start a thread about San Rafael and gave it A+. Sure, perhaps I was in a bit of a "reckless" mood, but yeah. They're good. They are really green and lush despite their dry period, and have very few rain days despite the moderate precipitation. For some weird reason San Rafael's climate box was removed though! Luckily I posted a screenshot of it in the original thread. Gap is just the best four-seasonal climate I couls think of. Incredibly sunny, very comfortable but warm summers, lush, and snow even though the days are basically as warm as England's.

Old man lommaren remembers when you say it San Rafael really is a nice one, perhaps not an A+ but surely in the A- or B+ range for me! Those summers would be tremendous in that the nights would be very calm, but I'd be a bit unhappy with the crazy rainfall in winter even if it kept the place green. Possibly it would shield from wildfires in the summer though because of more moisture in the soil, right? Besides, what does Flagstaff lack that Gap has?

Besides, what does Flagstaff lack that Gap has? Deciduous trees. Also, their spring warmup is slower, and winters slightly cooler as well, although that's not a big deal since I can understand if people would think Gap got too little snow. I can enjoy torrential rain. Also, speaking of San Rafael. I can imagine that I could be intruiged by other stuff than pure office climate, and I do love thunder.

Steamboat Springs really looks like an interesting climate to be fair, also Furano Do Northern Sweden and Finland fall short because of their cool summers for you kronan?

So pretty close to where you live? Yep Since I became a fan of colder weather, we've had the 6th and 2nd mildest winters on record back-to-back. So I need to experience at least a normal winter again to say for sure. But anywhere from here to Indianapolis looks good.

Your normal winters for reference is a bit like a volatile Northern England one with colder Scandinavia-esque nights right?
