Mild Mediterranean climates borderlining mild semi-arid. So, places such as San Diego, Casablanca, Agadir, Sana'a, Santa Monica, Eucla....I prefer a lot of sunshine - So no places like Lima and Arica which are pleasantly dry and mild, but have lots of cloud-cover!

An honourable mention to the drier/milder, less humid end of Cfa climates like Sydney, Picton and Bateman's Bay, and Mediterranean climates with mildly warm summers and mild winters (Rabat, LA, Valencia, Tangier).

Arid desert climate.

I enjoy abundant sunshine year round and I like extreme heat, to a certain extent.

Oceanic Climate(Cfb), extreme temperatures outside of 14~86°F(-10~30°C) occurs very rarely.
Humid Continental Climate(Dfa), coldest month averages below 32°F(0°C) / hottest month averages between 71.6~75.2°F(22~24°C), maybe I like Dfb climate too if their winters are't harsh subarctic type. For Dfb, annual temperature above at least 42.8°F(6.0°C) would be nice.
Mediterranean Climate(Csa/Csb), When I prefer stably warm temperatures year around to relax or having a fun party.

I take it back (this was from 2 years ago). Arica isn't that cloudy. In fact, it's fairly sunny.

Any place with >= 60% sunshine, an average high in the mid 60s to mid 80s range, not too much rain, not too much wind, and not too much year round temperature variation. Some rain is good though and I don't like every season to be exactly the same either.
This breaks down to
most Mediterranean climates, some sunnier subtropical climates, a few very sunny and warmer oceanic climates, some mild and drier tropical climates, and some milder arid and semi arid climates.

Here's an example of each

Mediterranean - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles
Cooler Mediterranean - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essaouira
Subtropical - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brisbane
Oceanic - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johannesburg
Tropical - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_West,_Florida
Arid - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tucson,_Arizona
Semi-arid - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zacatecas_City

I just realized that a lot of my favorite climates are in elevated locations.

Glad to serve as inspiration lol

I like elevated tropical climates cause that equals year round comfy temperatures+cool nights. Also I noticed Southern Hemisphere has much more good climates than the North

There really isn't any other part of the world I'd want to live in weather-wise. The upper south US has the best climate, with just the right amount of seasonal variety, lots of thunderstorms, and good sunshine percentages.
