I like how their winters are mild but they still get ample snowfall and their summers are warm but almost never hot. The rainfall is distributed evenly throughout the year too, and it's not too sunny or too cloudy. I feel like Copenhagen or Stockholm have a perfect climate. Not nearly as extreme in temperature as the Midwest or Northeastern US, nor are they as hot and humid as the South or as hot and dry as the Western states.

And comparing Scandinavia to Alaska, Nunavut, NWT or Yukon at the same latitude it's obvious which climate is better.

Not even close. Worse than most climates, even.

Most of Scandinavia's climates receive a failing grade IMO

In my view, they're far too cloudy.

No, but they're better than places like Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and parts of South and North America as well as parts of Australia. So in short not really, there are better climates out there and there are worse as is for most places around the world. Really a matter of opinion in short... Not bad in my mind though but I can think of some better climates.

Those climates are far too cool for me, so I'd say no. It's a matter of opinion.

They're much better than the UK's climate. And that isn't saying much.

No is the short answer. Still a very long way from the worst climate though.
