How is our climate a joke? Our winters are one of our best features
The annual average of Phoenix is ridiculously high for an area above 33 N and over 1000 ft high. Not to mention that you're hundreds of miles from an ocean. If you were down at sea level at around 27 N, then your climate would be more justifiable.
Cuba is my dream place. Plenty of rain and a hurricane i can enjoy every year or so. I hated Kentucky as i was forced to stay there in 1983 for two weeks. Nothing but clouds and highs in the 40's and lows in the 20's. I was in Job core and just hated that weather. I could never live up north. I just want my old classic Florida weather back like we had in the 70's and 80's. Meaning rain in the summer and cold winters. Not sunshine and dry and hot year round like we have had since 1990 minus the winter of 2010.
I don't know what part of Florida you live in but here in SW Florida we have rain every day from June-September including some severe thunderstorms. Love our winters with low humidity and an occasional cold snap. I would like a little less sunshine on some winter days so it would feel more like "up north" once in a while.
New Brunswick and Nova Scotia (and NE Maine) are an utter joke. They have pretty much the same temperature in summer as Sweden about 10-20 degrees of latitude higher up but with three times the annual rainfall and ridiculous winter temperatures.
Antarctica is pretty justifibale considering its right on the pole. On the other hand, some of those Northern Quebec climates are ridiculous, a place that is more than 1/3rds of the way from the pole should NOT be that cold. And a place that is 2/3rds of the way from the Arctic and located on a peninsula in the middle of a scorching warm body of water should NOT have record lows below freezing (I'm talking about you, Florida)
Florida is a climate fail too, it's like Singapore if Singapore had occasional arctic blasts
