A borderline Dfc/Dfb (Subarctic/Humid Continental) climate (Fort McMurray) vs an Am (Tropical Moonson) one (Cayenne).
I of course choose Fort McMurray. It is far too dry and too cold during winter but it is overall quite good, while Cayenne being Tropical is not very good for me (despite being one of the "good" Tropical climates for me, with low sun hours (even if not as low as Manaus for example) and a lot of precipitations, so it is a "good" Tropical one for me.

Fort McMurray, no question....

Fort Mac actually has a pretty decent climate, a couple of months colder than I like
but overall good. I like how it warms up fast in the spring.

Too bad Cayenne is so damned hot, lol. The rainfall and low sunlight hours are pretty attractive.

Fort McMurray for me; 4 definite seasons although it is kind of dry and a bit on the sunny side.

Of course Cayenne by light years for me. An A climate vs. an F climate for Fort Mac.

That makes me wonder what your ideal climate looks like.

Perhaps you'd like this tropical climate better: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popay%C3%A1n#Climate

Actually that climate is like the best Tropical climate I have ever seen, I would give it a D, even a D+ to it. Very interesting for the cool nights. It would be like the summers that I would like to have in my ideal climate.

That is one of the most consistent climates I've ever seen and I doubt many location around the globe are at or near that level of consistency.

Still, I think Fort McMurray is better. I would choose that over Guyana. Heat + Humidity causes my eczema to flare up and I like winter sports.
