Not really! The climate is to changeable, witch makes going to the beach in summer everyday hard. Although I know the climate here on the South Coast of England is much better than the rest of the UK, but it's still not that great in Mediterranean terms. Today for example, we had storm Burther in the morning giving us torrential rain and lashing winds of up to 50MPH, by the afternoon it was basically wall to wall sunshine and people Surfing and kite surfing on the sea. In fact today was more typical of mid October! But it's mid August! Why can't it be 30C and Sunny like August should be?! :/

Compared to where I grew up in Florida, I love it. I love seeing the seasons change. Snow for a week and a half, still better than nothing, and seeing the days go by and the leaves returning. Now ideally I'd like a climate with very strong distinct seasons. Where by Halloween, the leaves are all but green, and blowing in the air. Where Christmas is snowy and white almost every year. Somewhere like Minnesota would be near perfect. (If only the spring weather came a little earlier, but I'd sacrifice a few crappy snowy Easters for awesome snowy Christmases) New England is also great in this regard, but I really like the idea of a Midwestern winter where I can ice skate without fear of my weight breaking the ice. I love hockey, what can I say!
Not at all, the winters ruin the "love" part for me. It's a decent climate overall, and I wouldn't say I hate it, outside of Jan-Feb at least, but my ideal climate features milder winters and slightly hotter summers.

Eh, not really. It could do with more consistent summer heat and sun, and cooler winters with snow. But it's definitely not pure crap, there are way worse climates out there. I give Melbourne a C/C-.
I can say confidently that I really do love my climate. Sure it can suck from time to time because no place is perfect, but this is the best climate for me
I like it. It's in the upper 25% of world climates. I wish the winters were milder and that we could stay locked in a SW flow from the Gulf during summer.
What is love? ... Is love first frost of autumn?, ... or the first pesky sea breeze of late winter?
I dig my climate.
