Not bad temperatures. Kinda cloudy. It's like Portland but 3 degrees warmer which I like. I guess I should cross oceanic climates off my list. Real oceanic climates are usually too cloudy.

Mediterranean hot summer: California Central Valley, Greater LA and San Diego east of I-5
Hot Desert with coldest month 50+: In US, areas of Sonoran Desert below 1,500 ft in elevation in SE California, SW Arizona and Laughlin, NV
In Mexico, low elevations of Sonora, Baja California& Baja California Sur
Tropical Savannah with under 1000mm precip: in US Key West, FL in Mexico, Pacific Coast from Mazatlan southward
Humid continental climate, because of the variation.
So much of our lifestyle is built around the seasons here- ie ice cream shop open for spring/summer- closed for fall/winter, back to school in fall, leaves on the ground during mid October - etc.
While it is nice to just walk outside during warm/comfortable temps w/o having to worry about putting on extra layers of clothing, it would drive me crazy with no fall/winter. Those are my seasons to take a break, chill out- wind down, reflect on life. "Always being on" sounds like hell... so I would hate to live in a warm climate all year round.
How ppl behave , their attitude- tends to depend on the season. Also with summer/hot months coming- more ppl out doing stuff, meaning: More conflicts to occur, ppl suck naturally- humans naturally cause problems/conflict lol so there's that to take into consideration. The cold weather is a kind of balance for that, and I'm highly introverted so I like it even more for that reason lol.
I kinda romanticize arctic climates but truthfully I probably wouldn't like living in one, they aren't that populated for a reason, its just too cold. But feeling alive 50% of the time (spring & summer) , then dreamy/asleep the other 50% (fall & winter) is a great balance.
I like my climate but I'd rather have colder winters by about 5 degrees celsius, maybe colder, so I'd say humid continental climates with relatively short winters and nice shoulder seasons.
I also would like to experience a dry / semi-arid climate like Central Asia or some parts of the Western US. I find the steppe / arid landscapes attractive, as I have always lived in green areas.
I'm ok with mediterranean climates and warmer oceanic climates, as long as they are not too cloudy and can get hot and cold every year.

NYC climate is okay, but I wish it was 10c warmer in winter and 5c warmer in spring. Maybe 2 or 3c warmer in summer. I love the fall in NYC so I dont want it to change

Summers are too hot like in the rest of the Southeast. I was thinking Wilmington NC would be nice. Unfortuantely it's hard to find weather here like you have in Central Argentina or Spain/France/Italy
