I like sub/tropical highlands like Mexico City or Java Highlands. Still has a chance of lukewarm beach water in the nearby coast, but have mild/cool summers (like my fictional clmate).

Southern Sweden would probably get a C from me. I prefer warmer summers and more sunshine, but those winters look good to me.

Still better than oceanic climates further west.

Not even the best climate in Scandinavia, let alone the world. The southern bit of Sweden, and all of Denmark often seems to be without snow cover in winter, which at that latitude leads to very depressing dark days with cloud and cold rain. Only above 60N does snow cover seem to be guaranteed in Jan or Feb. It also isn't warm enough in summer in places like Gothenburg, though Stockholm is a bit better.

Further up the East coast of Sweden at about 61-63N seems to have the best climate in that country (winters are guaranteed snowy, but summers are just as warm as in the south), but the best climate in Scandinavia is definitely Mariehamn. Really sunny in summer, cold enough for snow in winter but seldom Arctic- it's a great climate.

When I lived there, I thought it was a bit too oceanic. Cloudy, cold, but hovering around freezing with some wet, disagreeable slushy snow for months. I suspect it is pretty similar, though slightly colder, that eastern Scotland. Considering the latitude, it is pretty mild, but hardly nice, or even agreeable.

C or C-

Actually I was thinking that Stockholm is better than anywhere in the British Isles / Benelux / Northwestern Germany. A cooler version of central european Cfb climates.

Would be a tie with Paris because Paris can get occasionaly quite hot and is probably above 20c in the warmest month at this point.

Winters are much colder and summers about the same or cooler. I thought the UK would be more to your taste.

I think Stockholm has a good climate in general, and has reliable snow cover in the winter, but snow cover is not 100% guaranteed to last every winter, but even in Helsinki there might be a thaw or two. Even this winter, desptie it being very mild, the snow lasted more or less throughout January and February, and reached a foot deep in February. Not too bad

Summers are very sunny compared to what I'm used to, and I prefer summers in Stockholm to anywhere in the UK.

Gothenburg isn't very good, but still better than here IMO. A normal winter in Gothenburg would be extremely cold here.
