I personally don't like tropical climates, nice to visit, don't want to live there, no thanks.
Even places in USA, like Texas, Arizona, Florida are too hot for me in summer.
I like 80F / 27F ...90F / 32C ...again, no thanks.
Southern Canada has the four seasons I like.
The summers are just warm enough, don't need more heat, more heat means discomfort,
more AC.
Are there a few too cold days ...sure but I can deal with a couple of those days for the rest of the year
being good.
Are you kidding? Most of Canada's landmass is tundra or subarctic. Even parts of Russia (Sochi) have better climates than anything found in Canada.
Only if you equate "better" with heat....reasoning would be ...hotter the better
Response....says who? You maybe, not everyone.
Sochi is an okay climate, certainly warmer than anywhere else in Russia, and yes warmer than
anywhere in Canada. Even so, I don't think Sochi climate is so great.
IMO too much precip (over 60" I think) and probably too much humidity to go with it.
Sochi 9c average winter highs are frustrating...not warm enough to enjoy outdoor actibities,
not exactly tennis or beach weather, then a too rainy humid summer,
I prefer Osoyoos or Kamloops...nice long dry sunny summer, Windsor, Ontario is good too,
it has a nice summer with a bonus some decent real winter weather too.
Like today it is snowing like crazy this morning in Windsor, Sochi doesn't get that good stuff
You're from southern California, so I'm sure what you prefer is very different, 10C is cold to you
Are you kidding? Most of Canada's landmass is tundra or subarctic. Even parts of Russia (Sochi) have better climates than anything found in Canada.
I fancy the idea of living in a country whose range of climates in such that it can be considered a "cold" country (or, with the small exception of a tiny part of British Columbia, a place where you can generally expect decent winters). Honestly, the US is too climatically varied for my liking. There's the matter of identity, which I mentioned. But practical considerations can even be made. You may say you can choose where you want to live in this country. That's only sometimes true. It depends on the circumstances in your life. You may find yourself having to relocate to an awful climate, like Houston, or Phoenix.
For me that has to be Brazil... 5th largest country in the world and NOWHERE in the country I'd rate lower than a C climate... No hurricanes, few tornadoes and virtually the entire country can grow palm trees
They are having a huge drought in Southern Brazil, they will simply run out of water in the not too distant future unless there is a little miracle... Of course that is not the climate's fault, but that of the growing population. But then again, what is climate good for if there is no population to appreciate it?
