that is a nice climate indeed!

Vilnius and Milwaukee are both excellent climates ::

Yangon is a nightmare.

Vilnius and Milwaukee are both acceptable. I picked Milwaukee for colder winters and better (more extreme) cold snaps in recent years.


The other two choices are awful.

I find it interesting that Yangon looks as though it cannot have a heatwave according to the SAWS definition I posted in the other thread, as the record high temperature is less than 5C higher than the average high in the hottest month.

Though in general I like tropical climates, this is just too hot, especially in spring. I'm not a fan of there being a big heat spike right before the rainy season like this.

That's typical of climates between 12 and 18° latitude i.e. Tropical Savannah climates, Spring ends up being the hottest part of the year, and depending on the end date of the summer rainy season, a second heat up in fall

Milwaukee - a humid continental climate with hot summers (albeit slightly moderated on the lake shore).

Yeah the airport is right near the lake so the averages are going to be skewed when compared to more inland locations around Milwaukee

It is, but Yangon seems to have quite an extreme version. Darwin has a similar pattern but not quite as extreme. I'd prefer either enough rainfall and cloud cover to keep temperatures down a little, or the latitude to be high enough to counteract the lack of cloud cover and evapotranspiration in the dry season.
