from cloudiness and the crapness of their summers standpoint:
Melbourne
All of the british Isles
Iceland
Invercargill, NZ
Wellington NZ
Seattle
Vancouver
Juneau
Anchorage
Fairbanks
New Foundland
Portland...trhe one's in Maine, Victoria and Oregon.
Pacific Coast from San Fran to Alaska
The southern most area of South America
the ******* weather in the world for an inhabited place probably belongs to St petersburg, Russia, where its freezing year round and get less than 1 hour of sun per day in winter. Yakutsk is possbily even worse, supposidly the coldest inhabited place in the world (in winter).
No one has mentioned the southern tip of South America.
Ushuaia is a navy town of some 40000 located on the Beagle Channel about as far south as you can get in Argentina and still remain on dry land. Average winter temps range in the mid 30's (1 - 3 in C) which isn't too bad. But summer temperatures, though, don't even make it to 50 degrees (about 8.5 deg C) as seasonal norms. Add to that an average wind speed of some 15 - 18 miles per hour and you get significant wind chills, even in January (their high summer).
other locales in the region also notorious for cr*ppy weather include Rio Grande and Rio Gallegos, also in Argentina; Punta Arenas in Chile - warmer than Ushuaia but also a good deal windier; and a small weather station in Chile called Bahia Felix that can get measurable rainfall 355 days per year. Sun worshippers might want to avoid that last mentioned place
