Once you get further south, the Atlantic side has a better climate. Lisbon is near perfect, IMO and Porto isn't bad.
Although what shocked me was when Rozzen showed the temperature records in winter for places in France. Places on the Atlantic coast have recorded 20C nights and highs above 30C in winter at 42-44N.. I am still trying to figure out how that is possible
Valencia is the best European climate for its latitude IMO. Its winters are extremely good for somewhere at 40N and its summers are just about perfect, not too hot and with a light sea breeze.
Valencia today is currently 33C, for late October that is insane for somewhere at 40N! The next week is predicted sunny and 26C/16C everyday.. the summers there last from May-October.
In southern Europe the summers are longer still, but midsummer can be too hot for my liking, and the major difference is higher lows. Nicosia in Cyprus just looks awful in summer - 38C/25C in July, no thanks!
Temps way above average there. Average October is in the mid 70'sF.

Yeah, but it still just seems an impressive temperature for a coastal location this late in the year. I've always wondered why Valencia is so much warmer than Barcelona quite often, despite being not too much further south

what towns were those? And yes, I never expected that.
I think 31C or something was recorded near Bordeaux, and the tropical night near Pau, or vice versa.
Can you refer me to that post by Rozene. I want to see what towns and where. If that area of France can get that warm of an anomaly in winter, it is getting continental influence. Oceanic climates have stable temps by nature. If that is true, then they can also get very cold in winter. I would like to know how cold those towns also got as far as records go.
