Cities that have both hot muggy weather in summer and mild to warm winters, as for instance Miami.
Mediterranean climates that have too much dryness, like most of California, as Irlinit says earlier.
Temperate tropical highland climates that are too boring all the time.
Philadelphia is a sweatshop in the summer. It is at my upper limit for heat tolerance.
Milwaukee is my ideal climate, just wish that climate zone got a bit more sunshine in the winter months. I like Chicago, but even Chicago is a pure steambath in July.
1) Los Angeles. I generally like Mediterranean climates, but California seems to be much drier than typical Mediterranean climates in Europe. Most Med climates in Europe tend to have 3 months of little or no rainfall, whereas LA has almost 6 months of trace rainfall. I like my dry summers, but this is too extreme.
Northern and Southern California have somewhat different climates. San Francisco is on the coast, too, but has a much wetter and cooler climate than the coastal parts of LA. I like the "sort-of" Mediterranean climate I get here in western WA. My town only gets 18" of rain a year, but it doesn't get very hot in the summer like it does in inland northern California, where I moved from. I've been here almost 4 years and it's never risen about 80 degrees, yet it rarely snows, either.
Rainy summers and wet winters with HEAPS of snow on top of that...Could this be any worse?!
F*ck these sort of humid continental climates. They make me so f***ng mad. Japan is the worst f***ng offender when it comes to these climate cancers, after east coast/midwest America. And yeah, these climate have lots of fans alright. Not everyone is into San Diego and LA.
Oh and (sub)tropical climates like Miami and Brisbane, which are usually fawned over by elderly people for some reason.
Why do you think subtropical climates are overrated?
