I'm not a fan of humid, muggy weather. So from my point of view, every major city in Asia is worse. It's not like the winters in London are incredibly harsh.
At least in those tropical climates, you can enjoy the beach and the pool, a cold beer in the shade, and when it rains, its a brief, handsome warm rain with lotsa sun afterwards!
Why are tropical beach resorts such a popular vacation destination?
London's one of my favourite climates ever! How can you say it's a bad climate?
A climate with no rain in the summer is boring for thunderstorm lovers but still enjoyable and pleasant if it's sunny and warm. A gloomy and chilly year round climate that lacks sun and warmth, especially in summer is a lot more of a damper on the mood.
I like warm rain, so I'd take warm rain over no rain in summer.
But if I have to pick between cold rain or no rain at all in summer, I'd still pick no rain because I like at least 3 months of guaranteed steady warm to hot temperatures.
Cold rain should be restricted to late fall, winter, and early spring.
But I can see how Phoenix and Mecca can be too hot to be desirable though.

Think about it. In Sacramento there would be more danger of heatstroke than in London.
Conversely, in Moscow or Harbin there would be more danger of frostbite than in London.

London's climate is good for your health
London's cold and gloomy winters could give me pneumonia though.
Sacramento heat is a piece of a cake for me because the nights are cool (dry low 90s day and upper 50s at night) but I would need that AC for heat waves.
Even Mecca and Phoenix would be manageable with AC. It takes a lot less work to go from an AC house to an AC car to an AC building.
In the extreme cold, you spend a lot of time shoveling snow, warming up your car with thick gloves on, and driving in the perilous snow and ice just to get form point A to point B.
In reality the healthiest climate in the world is probably a moderated tropical one like Hawaii.

Hawaii = Heatstroke and sunburns. Not healthy
I think the best climates are London, Wellington, Puerto Montt and Vancouver. But of course, everyone has their tastes. You (probably) like very hot climates, I like very mild climates, everyone has their own

Hawaii is a lot more moderated in summer than most tropical climates. Heatstroke and sunburn are a lot more likely in L.A on a hot summer day.

The latitude of Hawaii is what causes the sunburn.
