Hum, sorry to be a killjoy, but those stats poorly reflect real weather conditions in Nice As I said many times our weather station is located at a very particular area of the coast, one might even see it as a micro climate : the main feature of Nice's climate is the natural shelter provided by the hills that surround downtown, and this is not reflected at all in the airport readings.
I'm checking weather several times a day and comparing it with my PWS and there's a substantial difference.
Roughly I'd say our downtown averages are something like :
Jan 7/13
Feb 7/13
Mar 10/16
Apr 12/18
May 15/21
Jun 18/24
Jul 21/28
Aug 22/28
Sep 20/26
Oct 15/21
Nov 11/17
Dec 8/14
I still think you would enjoy most of the year though
21/28 and 22/28 are indeed way too hot for me, so maybe i should keep looking .
Im sad cause i was loving the place and it gave me some kind of comfort knowing that i had an ideal-weather-place already, lol.
Though i still think that Nice looks ideal all months except for July/August. But i wanna find an actual perfect climate for me, if i dont find it, ill go with Nice :P.
would you find it? I would like a place with a climate like Buenos Aires in terms of rain and sunshine. Temperatures will be like BA all months BUT november, dec, jan, feb and march! All those month (basically summer and most of spring) will have to be much colder than BA.
Rest of the year temps should be like BA, though i wouldnt mind a COLDER winter and a colder october/sept to avoid the phenomenon of a winter month hotter than a spring month, lol, but not a much colder winter, ideally between 3-5 celsius less than BA.
It also should be way less humid, like year humidty between 20-30%
Is there anywhere like this?
Perhaps it's a bit wet for you but northwestern Spain has temperatures close to what you like and sunshine in the low 2000s, how do these places sound?:

Easy : try Cannes. It's just next to Nice (20km!) and very similar, but without the hills, so its lows are significantly lower.
Edit : Or why not Valbonne...it's in the Nice area but further inland and feels totally different from Nice. I used to spend a lot of time there so I'm familiar with this climate. One fascinating thing with the Nice area is that it has so many micro climates.
Valbonne always struck me by its completely different vegetation, dry landscape, much colder nights, warmer days and dry air. Too dry for me by the way, especially in summer.
I was doing an internship in Sophia Antipolis last spring (near Valbonne) and the May weather was really interesting and especially when compared to Nice.
I remember one day in particular, I left Nice in the morning, it was 16°C, arrived at work half an hour later and it was 11°C, but rose to 30°C in the afternoon while Nice stayed at around 23°C.
mmmh, im liking those! It might get some time to became used to those 3c in January, but overall climate looks lovely, really.
I think im gonna retire somehwere in France, lol, i should start taking French lessons.
