Examples of cities in the above zones for the climactically-impaired:

TUNDRA/SUBARCTIC: Whitehorse ;)
HUMID CONTINENTAL: Boston, Helsinki, Chicago
HUMID SUBTROPICAL: Atlanta, New Orleans, Shanghai
MEDITERRANEAN: Naples, Barcelona, Los Angeles
MARINE WEST COAST: London, Vancouver, Bergen
SEMIARID: Denver, Tehran,  Beijing

I guess it doesn't have to be one you've actually experienced, but I'm not sure how you'd be able to "like" it if so.

Anything above Human Continental.

Whatever Hungary is. This is probably the most positive thing about living here: weather lacking any extremities.

semi arid. rain rarely gets in the way, lots of sun, lack of mosquitos and you don't need air conditioning to be comfortable, just some shade.

The climate I am used to, i.e. temperate, seasonal, a bit oceanic. Not sure where it fits in your categories. Maybe a mix between maritime west coast and humid continental?

According to wiki, Hungary is humid continental except for the south of the country around Pécs, which borders on a Mediterranean climate.

I assume you're talking about Germany, virtually all of which is "marine west coast", along with the rest of Western Europe north of the Alps.

Humid subtropical was the one I found most pleasant.  Though I wasn't around for the summer.

You'd have to like consistent temperatures of 32C or more with close to 100% humidity.  I happen to not mind those conditions myself, but alot of people do obviously.

Yes, that's what I mean. But I imagine that London, Bergen, and Vancouver have more maritime climate than say Eastern or Southern Germany, so I added the humid continental. But I voted for maritime west coast now.

According to wiki Buenos Aires is humid subtropical and its average highest temperature is 30C, in January.  The average yearly temperature is around 18C.  In short, it's perfect.

Well, obviously there are degrees of variation within each zone. ^_^
