No, what awful weather we have here. It is so boring, cold and cloudy that I frequently have dreams at night of it being a hot, sunny day or of a thunderstorm happening because none of those things ever happen here in real life.
It seems NYC doesn't get guaranteed summers, as evidenced this year. Going by the averages, their summers seem great, but being at a sub-arctic latitude of 40º, summer is not guaranteed, as is the case in many temperate, "4 seasons" (aka craphole) climates.

Past 3 weeks (including today) we've had highs in the upper 80's to low 90's. Even July which was below average was warm enough for any summer/water activity. So I'm not at all dissatisfied with this summer (cool as it may seem to you). Keep in mind that with high humidity (and sunlight) even high 70F temperatures feel hot (to most people).
40º subarctic? lol That would mean nearly all of Europe, almost all of the former USSR, northern third of United States (and of course all of Canada) are subarctic?? That's over a billion people, give or take.
Edit: that would mean well over half of Earth's surface is either arctic or subarctic.
