Yeah, Mongolia is super cold for its latitude. Permafrost at the same latitude as Seattle. I think the Kuril Islands are as bad simply because of the lack of warmth.

51 degrees North best climate: Cork, Ireland, worst climate: Waskaganish, Fort-Rupert, QC. I was shocked that the latter has a climate much worse than even Irkutsk, Russia ie cool rainy summer, deep freeze snowy winter
Between 27/28N
Worst: One of the desert cities along the Persian Gulf in this latitude range (exceptionally hot and humid)
Best: Either Kathmandu or Namche, Nepal
Where I am 50 degrees North it's about as good as it gets (Sussex), warm sunny summers, mild cloudy winters. Of course there are better climates further south (like on the Med or in California) but nowhere else on the planet this far north (or South) is better. The worst at the this latitude has got to be somewhere continental (Canada or Russia probably).
For me at latitude 41°N on Long Island, this is a pretty average climate for the latitude. Areas in China and Korea at this latitude have the worst climates, being very cold and dry for much of the year, with warm wet summers, which is the worst combination. My dream climates are also found at this latitude, the best being Naples, Italy and Istanbul.
