I grew up in Toronto and lived in Oakland for the past 6 years. Other than some smokey summers weather is near perfect. Very mild "winters", beautiful and sunny summers (much less fog than the coast or Berkeley) with only a few days >30C. Low humidity most of the year. I'm in Carson City now and its colder/hotter, still no humidity.

I am looking for someone to do a data crunch like this and see Oakland emerge as a big winner

The SF Bay Area has the nicest weather year round, which is probably a strong contributing factor to why the area is so rich. I'm currently in Tokyo. The temparetrue is not the nicest year round, but it feels very natural. There are four seasons. Winter is tolerable and it rarely goes below 0C. It snows about once a year. Summer is hot, just like it should be, but it hardly goes above 32C. The only thing that bothers…

The main problem with the California coast is that the water is so cold. Between NorCal and SoCal there is pretty much an ideal weather zone for everyone.

Sounds like Seattle weather, except summer is dry here.

I think Tokyo is quite a bit warmer in the summer. Compare https://weatherspark.com/y/143809/Average-Weather-in-Tokyo-J... and https://weatherspark.com/y/913/Average-Weather-in-Seattle-Wa...

Did you move there from SF? Do you work in tech? I'd be curious to hear how it is if so. My understanding is that they just announced they are going to let international travelers back in June.

They haven't made a final decision yet regarding allowing international travelers, but as far as I understand it, they'll only allow tour groups first, and only the month after open up for tourists. (https://asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/Coronavirus/Japan-weighs-w...)

There is a strong correlation between rich and good weather. Amsterdam a city being rich for many hundreds years has pretty good weather. almost all milt weather cities are rich. Whereas warm climates are a recipe for poorness
