You've got to be joking.
Has to be Cfb :cool:
60% of people so far enjoy getting drenched in sweat when they take a short walk on an unbearably humid summer day.
Take your walk in the morning in the summer.
Dfb.
Real winters are nice.
Csb, which is a slightly milder version of what I have right now (csa). But Med climates rule.

Not my reading of a Cfb climate :hmm:

That's Cfa, not Cgb. :P
Dsc = Mediterranean-influenced subarctic climate; coldest month averaging below 0 °C (32 °F) (or −3 °C (27 °F)) and 1–3 months averaging above 10 °C (50 °F). At least three times as much precipitation in the wettest month of winter as in the driest month of summer, and driest month of summer receives less than 30 mm (1.2 in).

That's what it's like in Scotland? I live in area where you get drenched in sweat when you walk on a an unbearably humid summer day. You walk out side and it feels like someone just threw hot soup in your face. Glasses fog up immediately.

This, first choice would be Csb. The climate I have (Cfb) suits me fine, though.
Med climates are great and were my favourite when I was younger; the downside is that things get a bit dessicated in summer, I love all the beautiful green and cool shade we have here in Lancashire in summer.
Bragança's micro-climate is not on the map so at best, a guess.
No tropical climate for me, dry heat, if not too high is fine during summer. Can't understand why people travel thousands of km to endure unhealthy climates.
I actually like a bit of snow during winter. Bit irregular in Bragança nowadays, but used to be a given a couple of generations ago.

Csb is what we have here, come visit some day. :cheers:
It's actually rather lovely weather during the summer. :cool:
The one we all had?
BSh motherfuckers.
The climate here is pretty shitty (CsA summers and cold windy winters).
Of those climates I've experienced CsB was best. Temperate winters, cool summers.
Top place though probably goes to some Highland CfB microclimates. My Venezuelan gf grew up in the Andes, and the weather in that town is basically like Spanish late spring the whole year round. The downside is people who grew up there are always too cold or too hot anywhere else. :P

I was trying to find out Whitehorse's climate, which I generally enjoyed. I think it's DSC.
Properly cold winter, with summer highs around 15-20c.

If you're hot, there's nothing you can do to cool down.
If it's cool out, you can always put on a light jacket or a sweater and be warm.

Air conditioning. Or water + fan.
If you go somewhere that's never too hot, it's almost always too cold. I prefer balance.

That only works if you never go outside.
And I like going outside.
If I am living in Whitehorse I am staying inside 9 months out of the year :ph34r:
Come to Toronto, where you can get the best of both worlds - way too hot in summer, way too cold in winter.
Perfect balance! :D
it's so cold now, that I think I'm ready for Aw/As or Am. All freaking year long.
I voted cfb as that's what I have where I am so accustomed to it, but also would vote secondly, or even preferably, for csa or csb for warmer and less humid in the summer. A Mediterranean climate seems a more comfortable year round climate. Hmm, maybe I should move. :)
Csb is my favorite by far, of all the ones I've been to. I believe all of coastal southern California is in this climate zone?
I also like tropical climates such as Am/Aw (e.g. Miami Beach, Turks and Caicos, Punta Cana).

Did you move to the Vineyard or the Cape KRonn? I thought suburban Boston was solidly humid continental?

That may be the weather type and summer here has its humid days, but we also have many warm, drier days. Last summer though was very humid over long stretches, but that's not really the usual. Usually we get one to a few days of heavy humidity then it changes to cooler/drier.

Actually I would be alright with that. I like pronounced seasons. You do have a Fall and a Spring right? :hmm:
Central Coast California, Csb with foggy mornings and warm sunny afternoons is ideal for me. Things stay green (other than open grasslands) because of the fog (lots of redwoods in the coastal mountains), it warms up most days, and it never gets too cold (but it does cool down every night). Also, outside of rainy winter, it is not too humid.
Other than the fact that every other idiot wants to live here, and most of those are making way too much money in Silicon Valley, it is ideal for me.

We do - and they are the best seasons here, weather-wise. Fall is truly spectacular in southern Ontario (tourists come just to see the foliage colours), and spring is lovely. Only, they are short!
Springs going all the way to the end of may, if not further, this year ha

we also have pronounced seasons in Quebec. There's winter, almost winter, something not really winter, close to winter. :)
Every year or so, we alternate between very hot summers and extremely cold&rainy summers. That is so pronounced!
One thing I learned from the climate map descriptions: apparently Toronto sits in its own little climate zone bubble, one classification warmer than the surrounding bits of southern Ontario. You can actually see the difference if you drive north toward Barrie in the winter.

I went up to Barrie from Toronto in 1997. I don't recall any climate change, but I did have some terrible coffee there.

For having visited once in the spring, I thought Boston had a lovely climate. I think I could get used to live there, if I had to move to a city.
The New England fall is amazing. I love it. The only problem is everybody who lives there is really gloomy because they know what is coming: the Red Sox offseason...er....winter.
Spring here can be nice, or cool and rainy, such as it is this year, and yes, Fall is usually a very nice season.

Apparently we're two sick motherfuckers. I was wondering who else joined me in the voting for the correct answer. I should have known it was the guy who lived in Whitehorse. I'd love to move to an area where that weather was the norm, but I'm a silly American so my choices are limited. I also use the line of reasoning you put forth quite often to explain why heat and humidity are awful and the cold is awesome. :hug:
