Rainy little town on the west portion of the pennine hills in Mid-North England which gets 55+ inches of rain, 900-1000 hours of sunshine a year, and average maximum temperatures of 17c/63f in summer. Today's high is 15.1c/59f.
Well, just so I don't feel left out here ... Perth's crap for windy weather. It's either the 2nd or 3rd windiest city in the world, depending on the source. There are times when you just get sick of that blowing wind, especially when it makes your fence keel over and you have to deal with the insurance company and the "She'll be Right, Mate" tradespeople who don't show up on time, take forever to finish the job and make a complete mess.
2002 we had the east fence go down. 2004 north fence. This year the west one. Thank God we're out of fences that could go down! We had the workers dig real deep posts for the replacement fences. Oh, and first year we were here, the garage door got bent by the wind!
Winter's are a bit worrying that way here. We also get random mini tornadoes that destroy people's roofs, patios, sheds or entire houses. And torrential downpours for rain. We had rain come through the light fixtures one year. And collapse a gutter another.
Other than that, and some extremely hot days in summer, Perth's weather is pretty alright.
I sort of agree here....San Diego doesnt get storms, and the weather is much hotter at a painfully short distance away. And those much hotter places get "monsoonal" thunderstorms to boot. That's psycological torture right there...
In other words.....San Diego's climate is......a borehole...

I sure couldn't hack it living there.
Much too depressing ! ( 900-1000 hours of sunshine a year )

Why'd you move?
Average maximum summer temps at 17 C?
Toronto's average lows in July and August are 15-16 C.
(but our winters really suck; highs of -15 C aren't too uncommon)
900-1000 hours of sun?
I don't even want to imagine what that'd be like.

That's freaking disgusting Your summer highs are only 2C warmer than Melbourne's winters
I take it that your new climate is worse than at your old place?
The only way I could suffer through such a putrid climate is with a lifetime supply of Vodka.

Also the house is made of stone and is no warmer than outside without heating.
I wont be here long though. I hope to relocate to the south of England in the near future where at least summers see average highs of 22-23c and get several days of 30+ usually.
Last August good old Buxton Derbyshire had 71 hours of sunshine, and in January 2004 we had 14 hours of sunshine.

If you want to talk about a place which has the least amount of sunshine where people live.. probably somewhere like the Shetlands or the Faroe Islands would have the least amount. Both are over 60 degrees north so get very little sunlight in the winter as it is, and even in the summer when they are supposed to get close to 24 hours daylight, they are perpetually cloudy with very little actual sunlight with average highs barely reaching above 10C!
Some of you obviously have never read the entry I originally made, my main reason for looking at this forum. Campbell Island, one of the subantarctic group that is part of New Zealand, averaged only 640 hours in a 55-year record, only 602 in its last 30 years. Highest was 830, lowest 479. This is with only a slight deficiency in its "horizon". I would be interested to know if Buxton has nearby hills that reduce the registration - it's fairer to consider percentages of possible.
Campbell's monthly averages range from about 100 (20% of possible) in midsummer to 6 (7%) in June, lowest 1.3 hours.
