All of the climates that I've chosen are on the higher end of 9B bordering 10A with about 1-4 frosts per winter. Ironically, Eureka, the coldest also sees the fewest number of frosts.
i suspected that until i saw Fresno, which has two months with an average low of 38°F with 14 nights at or below freezing annually. meaning there are way more than 1-4 frosts per winter. Fresno is solidly 9B. if anything, closer to 9A than 10A.
It's rather dry in the summer... was sunny and dry when I visited
nearby Arcata. Canary Island Date Palms? Or a different variety?
Although there are a few days where the fog stays away, the majority of summer in Eureka is foggy and chilly but with no rain. You were there on an anomalous sunny day.
I'll go with Tampa as my number one choice and then the others in the following order plus my own addition of a 9B climate - Alice Springs:
2. Brownsville
3. Phoenix
4. Alice Springs
5. Fresno
6. San Jose
7. Eureka
San Jose is both sunnier and warmer than Frenso in winter (Fresno has thick tule fog when it's not raining and rarely gets above 60 F in December or January). Did you pick Fresno just for the hotter summer days?

How odd. Both nei and I have been to Northern CA (nei more than once). It was very sunny while I was there and looks sunny in nei's photos. Maybe it's not that anomalous after all?

Incorrect, I'm afraid. If we use the 36 F threshold, Eureka gets 23 frosts/year while Tampa gets 5. Using 32 F, Eureka gets 6 freezes per year and Tampa gets 2.
San Jose summers combined with Sarasota winters would be perfect.
The worst seasons in both.
I'd be happy with Fresno winters and Tampa summers.
