Where I live might have objectionable weather on 70% of the days, but they are more spread out and not as extreme, and the plants can tolerate it. Dubai would still win on "number of pleasant days".
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…

Yeah I think no question San Diego has the best weather of CA, followed by maybe Santa Barbara. South Bay LA (on the coast, not to be confused with South Bay, Bay area) is also usually really great and consistent year-round but if you go inland at all the weather can be dramatically different.
Anywhere on the southern californian coast has perfect weather. The seabreeze keeps things from ever breaching 85* even in the strongest heat waves.

I personally find SF Bay Area weather terrible, terrible. SF has the same weather year round and it is as follows: * Uncomfortably warm during the day * Uncomfortably cold during the night * A lot of unpredictable and long-running showers, rain and fog * A lot of cold wind year-round (especially summer, see below) I found the following quote by Mark Twain very accurate: > The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer…
San Diego has the best weather I've ever experienced. I've been there at different times of the year too. I don't live there and don't have any motivation to say that other than just being honest. I don't have any data to support my claim but it's not even mentioned in this analysis. I wonder what criteria ruled it out.

From what I see in the news India will soon be 60 degrees and death all year round because of global warming so it should probably not make many lists :(
Can't tell if you're being sarcastic, but India isn't a tiny country with a single temperature zone. Cities like Bangalore have great weather year long. The real problem is dust and pollution.
I did a similar study many years ago then actually moved to the city. It was wonderful, the climate was perfect for me. Moderate all year, low humidity, low wind and rain. Guanajuato, Guanajuato, Mexico was the answer for me. I will move back there when the kids are older.
Basically quite a few places in Mexico. La Ciudad de México or Ensenada for me. I intensely love Mexico City but Ensenada is where I'm moving to. Entirely for health insurance reasons. I will be there tomorrow hooray. There's Guanajauto, but also Querétaro, San Mig, León. The central highlands are big and agreeable. People here love San Diego... I know San Diego really well, and I think Ensenada beats it in every way…

Well, that's oceanic vs. continental climate for you: a large mass of water nearby (preferably to the East) tends to even out temperature differences, but you also get a lot of moisture. You can't have everything, as they say. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oceanic_climate I'm quite surprised Quito (capital of Ecuador) didn't come up however: it's near the Equator, so constant temperatures, and at very high altitude,…
Exactly. Quito and (very similarly) Medellin missing? Huge red flag. The methodology is very clearly flawed; maybe amusing as a programming exercise, but of no value in determining where one wants to live.
As a New Yorker, I personally like some variation of the seasons, but I guess if I lived in Medellin I could always head up to the Caribbean coast for some beach weather.
