Best and worst in your opinion climates you've ever been to? (snowfall, hot)

[Max96]

Which climates, of which you've been to, are the best and the worst for you? The best for me climate I've been was Sumy: a bit cooler version of Kharkiv. The worst was Dubai, it was terribly hot (even despite I was there not in summer).

Worst : the high plateau (900 meters) of central France where I lived as a high scholl student, dubbed "the little Siberia".
Even in summer nights were chilly. Winter (with -10° C temperatures) lasted from November to May (I saw there snowfall in early may). A pure nightmare (I'm a warm weather lover).

Best : probably (I'm not going to have many fans here) Southern California.

Portland, Australia. Worst climate. Been there multiple times in January, if it was not some form of rain every day over an entire week, it was a 1C low, and if not that, 50km/h winds right off the ocean with thick drizzle and rain with windchills that would give a Melbourne July a fair shake of the sauce bottle

But the fishing is good....

Worst: Aiguille du Midi France, not sure if it really counts tho as it's 12,500'+ asl. At low elevations, Death Valley, CA.

Best: probably Legnica, Poland. Still no that great, I need to work on this one!

Can't believe how wrong the climate data on the French Wikipedia is:
Legnica

Very cloudy, but apparently it averages 8/-15°C in January. Not that the other months are any less bogus, especially the May precipitation.


More realistic data from nearby Wroclaw:
Wroc

Probably Beijing as the worst. Too damn cold in winter.

Best: My hometown of Bandung. Cool (18-28c) year round with plenty of thunderstorms (200 days a year on average)

Best: Winnipeg.
Worst: London!

I'd eat my own turds for lunch for a whole year to live in that climate.

I doubt it.

Best, Rome, Italy or Faro, Portugal.

Worst, Arosa, Switzerland, ski resort.
