#163Your algorithm should probably return places like Lisbon or Nice, which have nice and sunny weather all year round, but not too hot summers. And not Reykjavik, where you need functional clothing (water and wind proof) all year round.

#164If your methodology for identifying "cities with nice weather" returns Reykjavik in its top ten, either your sample only includes places with terrible weather, or your methodology is completely whacked. Reykjavik is a wonderful little city, but it's cold, extremely windy, and often very miserable. The place with the most pleasant weather I've ever experienced is probably the area around the Gold Coast, Queensland, Au…
Yes, that also immediately focussed my attention… We have friends from Iceland and I have since added Reykjavik to my weather app — to feel good that weather there is even more miserable than where I currently am, wherever that may be.
An obvious topic that seems missing from “good weather” is the amount and duration of rainfall.

#165I think people are a bit too critical here, as people's view on weather are different, i.e. utility functions are different.
As a person living in Edinburgh though, I can say the weather is not too bad, but certainly could be tad warmer without being uncomfortable.

Yes - be warned - this is a trap. We first named Greenland Greenland to trick people to go there instead of Iceland. Now we want people to come - so we are manipulating math and logic on a scale never seen before. Be vary of any data that points to Iceland as being a good place to live in terms of weather. The truth is "in Iceland, the weather is trying to kill you!"
Not sure if true, or just a new trap laid by iceland to keep me away...

#167Nice is the one city that has 100% nice weather...

#168The 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…
I couldn't disagree more, SF's weather is capricious (you always need a sweater, and be prepared to remove it and wear it back as you walk along the city and its many microclimates) and never warm enough (you like wearing shorts, flip flops, skirts, dresses, or just hang out in the evenings in the park? Nope, not going to happen). Because it's never warm enough, or cold enough, nobody has a heater or an AC, and when hot or cold days happen you're in for a real treat in your home.
I'm just saying that it's not for everyone, I'm looking to move out and weather is a big reason. I want to be able to drink and enjoy being in a park in the evening with my friends.

#169> We’ll ignore any other weather characteristics like humidity, rain, wind, diurnal temperature difference, etc. If the author ends up moving to Edinburgh based on this, we can count on seeing a follow up analysis that doesn’t ignore rain.
Edinburgh isn't particularly wet - there is a lot of variation in rainfall levels in the UK and as Edinburgh is on the east coast its not that bad:

I hear "Japan has four seasons" a lot living there, but I don't get it. It definitely has summer. Leaves take 8 months to gradually fall from trees (if they fall at all) before summer starts again. There's no snow. And obviously there's no snowmelt or sudden greening in the spring.
You might be able to make the claim if your four seasons are "Summer, Typhoon season, Rainy season, Not-summer".
