is more similar to London than it is to California. When does Seattle average 30C and hit 40C+ almost every summer with 0mm precipitation June-September?
And when does coastal California average 30°C?
Never.
Though seriously, Portland can feel California-like for much of the summer, Seattle less so.

30C as a maximum I meant to say. As I am lead to believe by LA-Mex, 10 miles in from the coast pretty much everywhere at low elevation averages above this.
I just think it is silly that a guy from Seattle is berating cfb summer climates in Europe that are pretty similar to his own.

Answer? Never.
Seattle; like London and Paris is an oceanic climate with even crappier winters than its European cfb counterparts.
You are not familiar with the weather in coastal California. It definitely doesn't average 30C. Seattle has Mediterranean weather in the summer (csb) and sees almost no rain for 3 months, very similar to San Diego (with cooler nights) and warmer than San Francisco and definitely better than London. Winter is a different story, but I didn't say anything about winter.

Southern California, maybe. Less so further north, it's more topography dependent. Close enough to the coast, the difference with Seattle isn't big, but you'll get more partly cloudy skies and a few overcast or rainy days in the summer and more blue dome skies in coastal California — though right by the coast is fog-prone.
the immediate coast of Central and Northern California are COLD and very foggy in the summer. A lot of people have no idea that San Francisco is so cold in the summer, so places like Portland and Seattle are much more like San Diego than San Francisco in the summer months. Portland is even warmer than San Diego which only averages 24C in July. This was taken near San Francisco in June 2013

"The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco."
I'd happily live in SF climate wise. It looks like a beautiful city too, and one that I really need to visit.
On a bit of a downer here, but I recently watched a documentary on
Netflix about suicides on the Golden Gate Bridge. It's filmed over a year, quite harrowing, but certainly worth a watch. With the camera aimed directly at the bridge, it does show a lot of people jumping, so don't watch if you're sensitive to that.

I've seen that.. very sad indeed. Especially when you see people about to jump and nobody walking past even glances at them, yet alone attempts to stop them.
DC has very good springs, very good summers, very good autumns, and poor winters.
London has good springs, poor summers, poor autumns, and poor winters
