Humid Subtropical Climates: They are always called out for heat, humidity, bugs, etc. However, the heat and humidity only last part of the year, as opposed to year round in tropical locales people desire. Also, bugs in tropical climates put the bugs in humid subtropical climates to shame.
The thing I don't like about Kelowna weather are the cloudy winters. They don't get the rain that Vancouver gets, but the valley cloud means they get very little sunshine. It can be quite gloomy. I consider Kelowna's climate to be overrated. It has become quite popular and everyone raves about the sunshine, but most cities in Canada more than Kelowna.
I prefer cloudy weather, so that's another plus for Kelowna IMO.
However, in Minneapolis during winter, every year, tv stations cover the travel agencies who are booked with Minnesotans wanting to leave for a short time to get away from the winter weather.
every year, interviewing people who say they " gotta get away" from the winter for awhile.
Does the same happen in San Diego?
tv stations showing people booking flights for "weather getaways" cuz they need a reprieve from the weather ?
I don't know, but I doubt it.
Not sure about that, but I do know of people who lived in Florida who would go UP NORTH during the Spring Break period!
The Pacific Northwest gets a bad rap as always cloudy/rainy/clammy but I've found that that's not the case at all. Sure it's cool and wet during winter and foggy in summer, but the fog helps keep things green and lush during our normally dry summers and it usually burns off anyway.
I think Arid and Semi-Arid climates are underrated. Often they deliver what people move to Mediterranean climates for ( sunny, dry days ) only more so, and when it comes to Arid climates, you're much less prone to seasonal wildfires.
Some examples of great Arid and Semi-Arid climates I think people would enjoy:
