I got a chuckle out of seeing the U.K. Overseas Territories ranked 3rd. in the countries list, as it is comprised of fourteen territories spread from the Isle of Man to the British Antarctic Territory via the Caribbean and Mediterranean seas and the Indian ocean.

#32Most of European Coastal Mediterranean, (Spain, Italy, France, Greece, Albania, southern part of Croatia), including Portugal, San Diego, and anything close to the ocean in California (as long as it is not in the fog belt like San Francisco), South Africa, and perhaps some parts of Australia and Latin America. Basically, anywhere where it is sunny 'Mild Mediterranean' weather, that it is not too hot (North Africa is…
+1 for that sweet Csa climate :)

#33WeatherSpark is my favorite platform for this question. Lots of data and look-a-like places. Highly recommended. https://www.weatherspark.com/
Something this doesn't tell you is that summers in London for example are awful because our homes have historically been designed to trap heat.
Why -would- it tell you? If you live inside a refrigerator it would never be hot.

#34Is it me, or have quite a large percentage of links bit rotted for an article a bit over a year old? I haven't clocked on a bunch, just 4-5, but the only one that actually worked was to Wikipedia.

> southern part of Croatia
That's where I live. Summers get much too hot to be called mild, but it's the winters that are annoying as hell. Everyone pretends that the cold doesn't exist, so insulation is terrible and so is heating unless you want to pay through the nose for electricity every month.
Seriously, winters were much better when I lived in the capital, which is continental and colder but has actual amenities to counter that.
I did have an opportunity to spend a month in Los Angeles on two occasions (in winter and fall) and the weather was fantastic.

#37Is it me or is Mexico missing from his country ranking? ( https://leisurepurpose.files.wordpress.com/2017/06/countrycl... ) I was very curious to see where my country fell in that list.

#38big takeaway from this post - Brazil as a tech hub is next. Amazing weather, infrastructure in Sao Paulo, tech talent, cheap currency, and a huge domestic TAM. As we get into more manmade climate change, Sao Paulo will pull people south of MIA and even NYC given the time unity and the increase in living standards for every given USD.

#39I don't think I could define what "the best weather" means. I like a sunny day as much as anyone, but I like snow too, and a huge thunderstorm, and even a bit of rain, and mist, and everything else. I'd miss a lot of that if I lived somewhere that had the "best" weather.
Basically you want seasons instead of monotony.
This is touched on, and you can get a lot of those things by living in an area with different climes in close proximity, for example a coastal region that rises into mountains not too far away.
So the question is, if you want snow some times, do you want to live in the snow, or have access to the snow, and how close is close enough? The bay area has Tahoe, which you can reach in about 4 hours, for access to snow. If you want to actually live in the snow for at least part of the year, the SF Bay Area won't cut it then.

Well, when you consider the average…
