but it would certainly be more livable than anywhere on Antarctica that never gets any comfortable temperatures. On winter mornings in Mecca, it would be around 20-24C, perfect for being outdoors comfortably for long stretches.
Winter mornings of 20-24 C is not a positive. And comparing to Antarctica is irrelevant.
22 C with high humidity is not exactly comfortable either. And it looks to heat up quickly during the day, so by 11 AM or noon it's probably already 27 or 28 C.

this whole thread is about nightmare climatic averages so Antarctica is totally relevant as its a "real" climate on earth.

Yeah but it's not my nightmare climate. Kapeesh?
I don't exactly like the climate of Vostok. Way too brutal and not much variation (temperatures variate decently, but they don't really get anything besides cold and wind).

Forget Vostok; even coastal Antarctica doesn't get much other than cold and wind, no thunderstorms anywhere on the continent.
I tend to reserve the 'F' grade to unlivable climates like Mecca and Omyakon, but looking at the whole year, a monotonic cool climate is the worst. I don't need to create a climate box, as it exists in real life: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerguelen_Islands#Climate
Well, here's mine. The record high for January is 0C!!!! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alert,_Nunavut
Beautiful destination: if the average high in July was 19C warmer, I would go swimming!
Well then go ahead and contribute. I don't have a problem with people posting polls, real or fictional, but if they are ludicrous as to be unsurvivable then it is pointless and doesn't generate any discussion whatsoever.
Yes I have, but my fictional climates are actually realistic and a real attempt at theoretical climates if there were landmasses and islands in areas of the world where there are none. It's a hobby a lot of us on the weather forum share.
Actually, you are wrong. Drinking is a highly constructive use of my time and I have recieved many positive reps for my drunk posting and rants.
I'm not going to argue with you anymore because it appears we actually agree with each other, at least in part, so continuing this little fight isn't necessary, and besides, we've both stated all of our points multiple times now. I'm not a spammer, and I don't appreciate being referred to as such; I'm a legitimate, constructive user who just wants to enjoy the forum.
Here's a "boring ass" climatic nightmare for about half of this forum (many of whom would rate worse than almost any other inhabited climate in the world for the monotony).
