I would love to live somewhere with mango and guapuru and coconut trees everywhere. In Tegucigalpa people have banana and mango trees in their backyards, how cool is that?!

Weird country borders there. Lol. At first I thought it's a post-WW2 map but some borders don't fit.

I just realized that after filling in too much of the map (I started off with the Americas) and by then I just felt too lazy to do another map lol

They are cool but it's not worth it to be sweating in the winter.

I just realized that a lot of my favorite climates are in elevated locations.
Johannesburg isn't Oceanic in any way.

Fine. Subtropical highland.

Hypothetically an oceanic climate could exist that would be sunny enough for me to like, but so far all the ones I've found are cwb like Johannesburg or csb like San Francisco. Melbourne and Sydney are pretty close to what I'm talking about. Sydney is slightly too warm and therefore technically subtropical I think and Melbourne is a bit too cloudy. But if such a climate were to exist, that's what it would look like.
