The absolute worst city to live in for weather? I think any places in which there is heat and high humidity for long stretches of the year would get my vote. When it is that hot and humid, walking outside is a risk because you can sweat and also overheat if you are not careful. It makes it impossible to spend hours outside unless you keep on drinking water quickly. Even with the water, once you return back to the house, you'll be fatigued. Some cities that fit the description I gave above are Miami FL and other subtropical climate regions. I could never understand why anyone would prefer to live in a subtropical climate with heat and humidity for long stretches of the year. That would be too much for me.

London may only get 1630 hrs of sunshine per year (Heathrow 1980-2009), but it records 315 days per year with measurable sunshine. The longest I can recall going without sunshine is only about 5-6 days.

So it has 50 days per year that are completely overcast? That's nothing to brag about!

Yeah but the PNW climate in general is garbage overall when it comes to sunshine (I can attest to this). Most people know that. Bragging about being sunnier than one of the gloomier climates on the planet is nothing to write home about.

So while London is less sunny by total amount of sunshine, it is less consistently cloudy than the PNW? So. the PNW goes through long stretches of sun and long stretches of cloud while London varies between the two more?
