The rule is simple.

Based purely on climatic preferences, and nothing else, you are asked to move to one of the world's capital cities - you can choose both among country capitals and capital of states in large, federal countries such as the US or Australia, or even China's provinces - but that wouldn't work, say, with the capital of a region in France or whatever.

Once I get enough results, I'll put everyone's respective dream location on a map.

I could also include your current location in another color, so be sure to mention it if you'd like to see it appear

I'll start :

Current location : Nice, France

Dream capital city location : Natal, capital of the Brasilian State of Rio Grande do Norte.

Your turn


(We could do a US edition as well, in that case I'd chose Honolulu, HI in a heartbeat!)

I'm assuming we can do the capitals for each Russian state as well...

In that case I choose Vladivostok.

Current location is Portland, Oregon...just a bit farther north at 45N as opposed to Vladivostok's 43N.

Out of the US state capitals, Augusta, Maine looks the best.

Among capitol cities, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky is the best. Russia is certainly a large, federal country so a capitol of a federal subject qualifies here. Juneau and Reykjavik come to mind as other good capitol sites, but Petropavlovsk is on top.

If you're going to do a U.S. edition Juneau, Alaska is the hands-down winner for me among state capitols. For a Canadian edition Winnipeg, Manitoba is by far the best. Among national capitols I believe I would choose Reykjavik, Iceland.

+1 for Juneau, Alaska. There are some some state capitals in the lower-48 with colder winters, but not one of them can offer the comfortably cool summers of Juneau.

Oh hell I can't decide
I'll just go for Pretoria, South Africa even though it is really kind of dry.
Current location: NYC.

If within the US, maybe Richmond, VA.

Current location: Valdez, Alaska
Dream capital city: Stockholm, Sweden

I haven't done a side-by-side comparison, but they look very similar, aside from snowfall.
