For overall human development, London and San Francisco are probably best, followed by Chicago (yes, its cold there but cold - but not severely so - climates tend to have good topsoil for growing crops). My personal vote is San Francisco because it rarely gets hot and rarely gets that cold (a little chilly, yes, but not cold).
Come on man, you should know better than this, climates don't change over 2-3 years. You just had an anomalous period that will sooner rather than later regress to normal
Temperatures in the past 3 months has been around average in my area. ABNW has no idea what's talking about,

Santa Maria's SST and air temps have reverted to their usual summer patterns but SoCal's coastal SST remain consistently above normal (daytime highs are close to normal but overnight lows remain above normal). Anyway, let's go back to discussing the stereotypical climates. After Chicago, how would you rank the others?

The thing is with the upper midwest/Chicago-y area, winter days will rarely get that cold but when they do- you will remember them and if you aren't used to it and travel during an unlucky day I can see how you would get that perception. December 2015 was sooo mild though.

Ugh San Francisco disgusts me. And I'm gay lol.
SF is just the weirdest big city climate in the world. They had windchills in the 40s several evenings in a row last week at what is supposed to be the warmest time of the year, yet they can go decades without seeing a frost. I don't think there is any other climate in the world at that latitude that can match the ability to get such biting cold in the summer and avoid frosts in 98 percent of all winters.
The stereotypical San Francisco is actually more of a normal oceanic climate than the real one due to the cooler winters. Stereotypical London has slightly cooler winters and less sun than the stereotypical SF but they are essentially the same climate.
Most coldies, heat lovers, four seasons enthusiasts share common ground in disliking oceanic climates because of the lack of "anything really".

I think Wellington can give San Francisco a good run for it's money. Frost is very rare, and the record low is only -1C, and the warmer parts of Wellington haven't reached -0.1C since 1928.
While Wellington is warmer in summer by nearly 2C, it's record high is only 30C and it would never get the 23 days reaching 27C that SF gets. Wellington can certainly produce a cold summer day to match SF I think, just not as often.

Even the Kelburn met. at 126m ASL hasn't reached 0C since 1965.
I thought the stereotype of San Diego's climate is high 70s in the day and sunny for most of the year? People assume San Diego as more of a sunny beach weather climate; doubt most are even aware of the marine layer.
