NYC. Beyond a bit high humidity and total precipitation, its an A climate. To me, perfect temps variation for a 4 seasons climate. Real but no extreme winter and summer. Plus snow, decent average of thunderstorms, and ocassional extreme events, like subtropical hurricanes.
NYC is much more humid than Paris in the summer, Paris didn´t have high dew point in the summer.
Does Paris get summer thunderstorms? I like NYCs 4 season climate better but would prefer slightly less humid summers. I don't like humid days over 85 F but love thunderstorms.

Yes Paris is definitely not for you if you want Shanghai-like summers.

Enough thunderstorms to keep me entertained with more comfortable summer weather. Still swimmable in outdoor pools and lakes without oppressive humidity. In that case, I prefer Paris's summers with NYC's winters (more sunshine and way more standard deviation with a typical January having both couple of big snow events and warm snaps with sunshine and 50s F).
Hmmm I prefer New York City for more seasonality. Cold, snowy and sunny-cloudy winters and real summers with thunderstorms too. Also it has my ideal precipitation. But it would be great for me is NYC had the summer temperatures of Paris but with the sunshine of NYC. May I ask you something? From which station are the averages of Paris and where doy you find them? Because wikipedia has different table.
NYC is excellent, like here but with colder winters and more chance of snow, and overall sunnier and more varied, I like it a lot !
Paris is like whatever but at least the summers are improving and are not too bad for 48N, really. But for one excellent July 2015, how many crappy july 2011 will there be again ?
Paris winters are pretty dull IMO. Too grey and wet, not cold enough to be interesting and not mild either. For the same winter, i'd rather have Bordeaux' summers in the package.
NYC is an A, Paris would be C- because at least it can get occasional heatwaves and coldwaves, a vast improvement over anything in the British Isles or the rest of NW Europe.
